Honors College Application

- The deadline to apply to the Honors College is April 15. Applications cannot be accepted past this date. If you have missed the deadline, please contact the Honors College when you arrive on campus in the Fall if you are interested in applying for admission in your second semester at Duquesne.

Honors College students at Duquesne are smart, but it’s much more than that: they’re committed to learning, each other, new ideas, and a better world. The Honors College supports their commitments on three levels: with small class sizes (most capped at 7!), by encouraging and funding their academic endeavors, and by bringing them together in special activities and dedicated housing. If our community interests you and you’re excited to start reaching for bigger goals, we welcome your application! Students who receive an invitation letter based on their standardized test scores upon acceptance to the University do not need to submit this form.

For more information, call 412.396.1142 or email honorscollege@duq.edu.
