The Honors Student Experience
Kira Rose, 2020-21 Honors Student Organization President and Civil Engineering major, shares her insights about the Honors College and how it has shaped her Rowan experience.
Watch or read Kira's message.
The Honors College experience is unique in how it integrates both school and extracurricular activity into the everyday life of a college student. Being a Biomedical Engineering major, classes like Honors Engineering Clinic allow me to study within my major, while also interacting with people who are enrolled in the Honors College. As a freshman, living in the Honors learning community introduced me to a lot of my fellow peers who share academic goals, dreams, and aspirations that are similar to mine. Without the Honors College, I don't know what my Rowan experience would look like, and I can't wait to see what new experiences await me in the rest of my undergraduate career!

The Honors community is always there for their members and prospective students. Advisors are always willing to answer questions and will help connect you with others who have a career similar to the path you wish to take. The program gives you the opportunity to see what lies beyond the campus through its free trips to the MoMA and Philadelphia Museum of Art, which further your perspective on the arts in major cities. The Honors College is also about coming together to bring good to the community. Not only do you volunteer on Rowan’s campus, but you also have the opportunity to volunteer in the community of Glassboro and beyond.
