The Frederick Honors College seeks to create an inclusive, equitable, and diverse student body by offering multiple points of admission for prospective, current, and transfer students. Furthermore, our three distinct and flexible academic pathways to graduation offer our students accessible opportunities to craft their own unique experience.
