There are many opportunities for Hunter’s students to participate in rigorous and rewarding honors programs. Participation in these programs typically involves focused study of contemporary and historical philosophical and social issues, or in depth study of a particular question or problem within the student’s chosen field of study. Only the very best and brightest students seek to enter an honors program, and those who do are surrounded by other high-achieving students and are provided with a host of academic resources, including concentrated faculty attention and guidance.
