Honors College
Raising the standard...

The Honors College is more than just academics. It's an experience that begins on a student's first day on campus and continues beyond graduation. The Honors College Experience enhances the Madison Experience by intentionally mixing students from disciplines and majors from across the entire campus. Your gift sustains this ecosystem creating experiences that move students to higher levels of commitment and success. It incubates ideas and experiments that enrich the entire campus community. The Honors Experience allows students to chart their own unique pathway and challenges them to intentionally link together the types of engaged Madison Experiences that we know transform lives. 

Your gift brings academic rigor to a new level by combining high quality students with faculty and staff.

Your gift enables professors and students to explore research, collaboration and innovation in ways that lead to new ideas and thinking. That’s meaningful because students will have the opportunity now to design and execute their own vision of the Madison Experience. Your gift makes that possible!
