Considering Honors at Wayne State University?

The Irvin D. Reid Honors College and your major department are working together to offer two Honors Options so that you can find the best way to fit Honors into your study program.

Option 1: Departmental Honors
You may wish to concentrate your energies in your major and, depending on the degree program you choose, you may also find that you have a large number of courses to take in your major department each semester. This may limit the scheduling flexibility needed to take courses in University Honors. Departmental Honors is designed to allow students more concentrated study and challenge in the core courses required in the major.

Option 2: University Honors
