Visit Honors!

Come see us!

Choosing a college is an important decision. We invite you to come and see for yourself why The Elliott T. Bowers Honors College may be your best choice. A visit will help you better understand our program, the curriculum, the benefits, and the exhilarating opportunities available to you. You can see our magnificent campus, The Honors College lab, study lounge, and study room. Even better, you will have a chance to meet our faculty and staff and discuss your interests and goals and probe deeper into the Honors application process.

Prospective students and their families are more than welcome to schedule an individual visit with the Honors College Dean or an Honors College Advisor. A meeting with our staff can provide you with more insight into the admission process and with the opportunity to learn more about The Elliott T. Bowers Honors College. To visit, it is preferable to make an appointment to ensure the availability of staff and to avoid busy dates. Appointments are available Monday through Friday, 8:30 to 4:30, year-round with the exception of campus holidays. If you want to schedule an appointment, contact the Honors College Office by phone (936-294-1477) or email honors@shsu.edu.
