The primary mission of the Honors College is to provide an enriched learning experience for intellectually capable and curious undergraduate students. The Honors College offers enriched and stimulating courses that are designed to encourage critical thinking, broaden students’ education, and examine interdisciplinary perspectives of different disciplines.

In addition, the Honors College supports formal undergraduate research, academic scholarship, and a variety of academic and social activities for enrolled students. The Honors College Orientation is designed to provide an introduction for new students to the Honors College and its courses.

The Honors College experience is a special one, offering both outstanding academic and extracurricular opportunities. These opportunities are designed for those students who are intellectually curious, capable, and interested in making the most of their time at Daytona State College. The members of the Honors College staff are dedicated to assisting students in achieving their academic and personal goals.

By the same token, we anticipate that students who associate with the Honors College will embrace the opportunity to explore the world in which they live, to challenge themselves to develop their critical thinking skills, and to go beyond the acquisition of vocational skills to foster a true educational experience containing breadth as well as depth.

It is in this spirit that we seek to form a partnership with each of our students, in which Honors College faculty and staff members provide entrée to a world of opportunity. Honors College students reciprocate by exploring, defining, and pursuing opportunity in a way that will maximize their academic and personal growth.
