Honors Degree

Do you want to be academically challenged, have enriched experiences in and out of classrooms, and be a part of a strong learning community? If so, consider the Honors Program.

Most students apply to the Honors Program when they apply for admission to UD, either as Freshmen or transfer students. However, current students may also apply. Click here for more information.

If you are planning to earn an Honors Degree in Psychology or Neuroscience, you must take four honors classes in the major (12 credits), and two must be at the 300-level or above. For Neuroscience Honors students, NSCI320 (Introduction to Neuroscience) is expected to be completed at the Honors level. You should plan to take honors classes as they are offered since they are not offered every semester. We discourage individual contracts with faculty members.
