Featuring contributions from leaders of top honors colleges across the country, this book tackles the most pressing issues facing honors administrators and universities in the twenty-first century, including the fate of the humanities, the value proposition of honors education, and selling honors to state legislatures and donors.

Since their inception, honors colleges have emerged as key vehicles for strong enrollments at public research universities, significantly reducing the “brain drain” of talented students from diverse backgrounds while maintaining affordability compared to private institutions. This book explores key topics in honors, including enrollment, curriculum, student success, financing and staffing, data-driven assessment, philanthropy, and more. It highlights effective methods for measuring the impact of honors programs and communicating that impact to a wide range of stakeholders.

A valuable resource for higher education administrators, scholars, and policymakers, Honors Education at Public Research Universities skillfully unpacks the two major parts of the honors equation: the how and the why.
