The Honors College is the center of Towson University's commitment to providing hands-on learning to foster outstanding undergraduate academic achievement. 

Since 1998, the Honors College has provided challenging opportunities for the most academically qualified and motivated students who seek intellectual and personal growth. The Honors College involves students and faculty throughout the university in a community of inquisitive scholars who explore complex questions within and beyond their disciplines.

Approximately 1000 students from all academic colleges and major departments participate in the Honors College. Professors from a variety of disciplines are selected to lead small, seminar-style Honors classes that encourage interdisciplinarity, multiple pedagogies, student involvement, creativity, open discussion, and independent critical thinking.
