Real World Experience

There’s only so much you can learn inside the classroom. That’s why the Honors College curriculum offers so many opportunities to practice your skills in a real-world setting.

The Experience of a Lifetime

Experiential learning means taking the ideas you learn in the classroom and test-driving them out in the real world, to practice and fine-tune the skills you'll need to thrive in your post-grad life.

The Honors College curriculum is specifically designed to prepare you for high-impact experiences that will serve as a springboard for future success.

A research project with NASA? An internship on capitol hill? A public lecture on Filipino art song?

Whatever the path is to your dream job, the Honors College empowers you to take full advantage of the unique opportunities that your time at the College of Charleston will afford you.

The Bachelor's Essay

This is the capstone of the honors academic experience. You’ll work one-on-one with a faculty advisor on a year-long research project. The project is guided by your passions and enhanced by your mentor’s expertise.

Set Yourself up for Success

By the time you’ve graduated from the Honors College, you’ll have significant experience under your belt. The type of experience you need to become an expert in your field. The type of experience that will make you a stand-out candidate for a post-grad job or graduate program.
