After ending the six-year pilot phase of the University Scholars Program in the Norbert O. Schedler Honors College, the program received formal approval through the Undergraduate Council and has been renamed the Schedler Honors Program (SHP). The new name intentionally reflects the traditions and philosophies of our founder, Dr. Norbert O. Schedler, and also retains the naming conventions of honors colleges and programs as defined by the National Collegiate Honors Council. Students in the Schedler Honors Program work toward program outcomes related to developing disciplinary expertise, practicing social responsibility, and enhancing their leadership skills. All SHP students complete an honors capstone that is related to their major field of study.
