Honors & Scholarship

This is a very unique program here at Georgia Southern that helps set our students apart from their peers by having them engage in research and peer learning where they work alongside of a faculty mentor in an area of specialization of their choice.
We also have several honors students in INDS who would be available to answer any questions that you have. Please reach out to the Program Coordinator if you are interested or contact our coordinator for Honors in the School of Human Ecology, Dr. Trent Maurer.
This is a great way to work alongside a few other students in a more small scale interdisciplinary setting and develop an area of specialization that is great for the resume.
