Getting More For Less: When Downsizing In Honors Yields Growth, Janet Myers, Mary Jo Festle

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

The outcomes described in these two student voices represent the best of what we hope for in an undergraduate education in an honors program: the pleasure in discovering one’s academic passions; the self-assurance that comes with identifying personal strengths and developing a sense of purpose; and the curiosity and confidence to seek out future opportunities to extend one’s learning whether in graduate school or elsewhere.

The (Un)Familiar Library: Managing The Transition For A Growing Number Of Honors College Students, Jean Mclaughlin

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

One consequence of the substantial growth in honors programs and colleges that perhaps gets too little attention is the challenge of teaching library research skills to large numbers of students in a way that captures their interest and prepares them to do serious undergraduate work in a variety of fields. Yet these skills are the foundation for college success. This paper attempts to give some perspective on the exciting challenges of extending expertise in library research skills to a growing number of honors scholars.

What Is An Honors Student? A Noel-Levitz Survey, Donald Kaczvinsky

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

In an impressive article published in the 2005 summer issue of JNCHC, Cheryl Achterberg laments the lack of empirical data available to provide a workable definition for honors students. While she duly notes that there is an “ideology” that honors students are “superior” to other students in an institution or of “high ability” or “the best and brightest,” she laments that “[t]here are few characteristics of honors students that can be standardized, measured, or uniformly compared across institutions” (Achterberg 75). She concludes her article with these considerations: honors students are “not a homogeneous group with a set of absolute or …

Balancing Low Growth With High Success, Robert Hogner

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

The International Business Honors BBA Program at Florida International University is a four-year experiment in a degree program that partners a traditional College of Business Administration and an independent Honors College. To date, despite low enrollment and accompanying pressures to increase it, the program continues to provide a unique, challenging, and beneficial student leaning experience of great value to the CBA, the Honors College, and the university.
A combination of student and faculty entrepreneurial spirit, a strategic vision supporting the concept, and trust across institutional boundaries provided the nurturing environment for this program’s success. Where it has not succeeded, specifically …

Nothing Fails Like Success: Managing Growth In A Highly Developed Honors Program, Peter Sederberg

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

“Nothing fails like success,” economist Kenneth Boulding observed decades ago. He went on to explain that we only learn from failure; if a particular pattern of behavior or policy seems to be working we continue it until, of course, it fails. Then we might learn something. The law of diminishing marginal utility echoes Boulding’s aphorism. What starts out as a source of pleasure yields diminishing utility until it reaches zero or even sinks to a negative return. I recall that my introductory economics instructor used the example of how the pleasure yielded by the first in a series of cold …

Honors Growth And Honors Advising, Robert Spurrier

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

This article addresses the issue of providing quality honors advising when honors enrollment at Oklahoma State University has increased by 325% since 1988. Following a brief review of NCHC publications that address honors advising and an explanation of the institutional setting addressed by this article, a description of our approach to honors advising will be presented. Qualifications for honors advisors will then be outlined, followed by results of the honors advising evaluation process.
