Honors

Students who participate in Honors are invariably gifted and highly motivated. The Honors Program encourages students to share their gifts with others through meaningful service.

To complete this requirement, students must participate in some form of service that draws upon their unique talents and abilities during their undergraduate years. This requirement is flexible in that it allows students to define the form of service they plan to use to meet this requirement. Their contribution may be in a single project or spread out over several projects.

Examples of service projects that students have used to complete this requirement include volunteer tutoring of high school or college students; assistance in programs that benefit people who are differently abled, elderly, ill, or impoverished; service as a volunteer in museums, hospitals, parks, or other public faculties; and participation in restoration or conservation projects. Service can be part of activities sponsored by educational, religious, government, business, or charitable organizations, including BYU and the LDS Church, or students can plan and carry out service on their own.

For those students who serve full-time LDS missions, the service that meets this requirement should be carried out while a student and should be in addition to any service while a full-time missionary. Missions often provide students with skills and opportunities that they can use to provide significant service after their full-time missions are completed.
