The
Honors Program of the University of Maine at Presque
|
 
The Honors Program at the
University of Maine at Presque Isle, redesigned in 1997 by a team of
students and faculty advisors, is dedicated to the belief that
students must take personal initiative and become active collaborative
partners with each other and faculty to receive the greatest benefit from
their education. In
the honors learning community at our campus, students work toward high levels of
competency in writing as well as critical and creative thinking. Academic
training includes inquiry-based methods of research, posing problems of social
and intellectual significance, and interdisciplinary thinking. The Honors
Program affords an opportunity for students to delve more deeply into individual
areas of interest, while providing the framework for a broader, richer
understanding of the world and their place in it. Top
