The Burnett Honors College at the University of Central Florida is designed to attract and challenge students who have demonstrated an ability to achieve academic excellence. Honors students receive an education that prepares them to enter the best graduate and professional schools, as well as pursue distinguished careers in a variety of fields. The Burnett Honors College offers two distinct programs of study – University Honors and Honors Undergraduate Thesis.

University Honors is a four-year program designed to offer a small college experience within a large research university throughout each student’s undergraduate career. The University Honors curriculum, which consists of Honors Symposium, General Education courses, upper-division courses for a variety of majors, and interdisciplinary seminars, contributes to a robust and well-rounded educational experience.

Honors Undergraduate Thesis is a two-to-four semester program that gives motivated and talented junior and senior students the opportunity to conduct original and independent research in their declared major or another discipline under the supervision of a faculty committee, culminating in a thesis or creative project.
