BIG

launching a research project your freshman year

or studying abroad for a semester. If you can dream it,

chances are Oklahoma State University can make it a reality.

IMAGINE

Located in historic Old Central,

The Honors College offers

outstanding students academic

opportunities and benefits.

As a student in The Honors College,

you experience small, discussion-

based classes with top OSU faculty.

Many students cherish the close

relationships with faculty and

their peers built through The

Honors College.

Students also receive use of the

Honors study lounge and computer

lab, priority enrollment starting

their second semester and extended

library checkout privileges.

Students with a 3.75 grade-point

average AND a composite ACT

score of 27 or 1220 SAT score are

eligible for The Honors College.

After Feb. 1, admission is on a

space-available basis.

CHALLENGE YOURSELF

“The Honors College was a way for me to make a large university a little more personal. I knew it would give me special opportunities, as well as personalized attention, so I wouldn’t get lost in the shuffle. The discussion-based classes have challenged me in ways different from that of my other classes, and have also allowed me to build strong, unique relationships with both my fellow students and faculty.”

— Erica Poe

Industrial Engineering, International Business Minor Ada, Okla.

FAVORITE HONORS COLLEGE SEMINARS: “Windows to the World” and “The Holocaust.”

With a student to faculty ratio

of 19-to-1, it’s easy to talk with

your professors and get help when

you need it. Whether it’s a quick

question after class or clarification

of an assignment during office

hours, they’ll work with you. As

part of the Cowboy family, we want

you to succeed.

The excitement faculty have

for learning resonates in their

contributions to Oklahoma and the

world. Our faculty members are

presenting at national conferences,

being published in academic

journals and receiving grants to

advance research in their field.

FIND A MENTOR

“What I enjoy most about my professors is their ability to present information in a passionate, relatable manner. Their attitude becomes contagious and makes you eager to learn more about the subject, even if it’s not directly related to your major.”

— Rafael Rodriguez

Sports Management Stillwater, Okla.

FAVORITE COURSE THIS SEMESTER: Philosophies of Life

INVOLVED IN: Freshman Representative Council, Spears Scholar Leaders

and Retention Initiative for Student Excellence

Learning goes beyond the

classroom at OSU with

undergraduate research available

as early as your freshman year.

Hands-on research experience

sets you apart and enriches your

academic experience.

THE FRESHMAN RESEARCH SCHOLARS PROGRAM allows

incoming freshman the opportunity

to engage in cutting-edge research

under the guidance of faculty

researchers. The program is open

to incoming freshmen in any field

of study, and participation in The

Honors College is not required.

THE LEW WENTZ RESEARCH PROJECT awards are $4,500

scholarships given to approximately

40 undergraduate student scholars

to conduct independent research

with a faculty mentor. Students

with a minimum 3.0 GPA and

12 hours completed at OSU are

eligible to apply.

THE NIBLACK RESEARCH SCHOLARS PROGRAM, funded

by OSU alumnus Dr. John Niblack,

provides students with an $8,000

scholarship for a yearlong research

opportunity. Created as a way

to expose outstanding students

for scientific research at an early

stage in their academic career, this

program offers advisement from a

member of the research faculty and

day-to-day mentoring by a graduate

student.

“The Scholar Development & Recognition office believes firmly in the value of undergraduate research. My Wentz Research Projects have been the highlight of my undergraduate career. It’s a great way to build self-confidence and gain a competitive edge for graduate or professional school.”

— Amanda Neujahr Animal Science, Pre-Veterinary option, Zoology (double major), Biology minor

Osceola, Neb.

WENTZ RESEARCH PROJECTS: Immunology-related research using zebra finches and investigating the use of plant-derived protein sources in the diet of nursery pigs.

DREAMS OF: Becoming a veterinarian.

LIVE YOUR PASSION

It’s easy to leave your legacy with

the leadership opportunities

waiting for you at OSU. Get

involved and create your path.

Pick from more than 400 student

organizations available through

Campus Life or start your own.

Leadership roles are available each

year in OSU’s Student Government

Association.

President’s Leadership Council

offers freshmen a scholarship and

academic program that emphasizes

the importance of leadership

and service throughout life. The

yearlong course includes leadership

and ethic seminars, volunteer

service, organizing a leadership

conference for high school seniors

and completing a small group

creative component project.

MAKE YOUR MARK

“Don’t underestimate the value of campus organizations. They are a place to pursue your passions and share them with like-minded people in a realm completely separate from what is accessible from the classroom and can be the source of friendships that will last the rest of your life.”

— Kevin Craig

Human Development and Family Science, General Business Administration minorCashion, Okla.

and International Justice Mission PRESENTER FOR: OSU’s 1 in 4 group

Where you live is important. At

OSU, we offer a variety of housing

options to choose from, including

suites, apartments and community-

style housing.

We have several living learning

communities that give you the

chance to live with others who

share your interests and who may

also be taking similar classes.

Stout Hall, a community-style

housing option, is the home to

students in The Honors College.

Residents gain valuable insight into

study techniques, honors classes and

campus life from resident assistants

who are also honors students.

Whatever housing option you

choose, you will reap the benefits

of on-campus living. From study

sessions to intramural sports teams

to hall activities, the friendships

you make will last a lifetime.

“I have lived on campus for the past three years and absolutely love it. I never want to leave! I have met my best friends through living on campus and some of my favorite memories at OSU take place in the residence halls. I feel close and connected to everything. It takes me five minutes to walk to class, or I can open my window and hear the marching band playing the Alma Mater. It doesn’t get much better than that!”

— Kim Johnson

Elementary Education Schertz, Texas

FAVORITE MEMORY: Bonding with the girls on my floor during snow days by stocking up

on food from Twenty Something & watching movies in the lounge.

LIVING & LEARNING

Expand your cultural horizons

through our Study Abroad Office.

With programs at more than

70 universities in 32 countries

worldwide and opportunities for

independent study in nearly every

other country, the possibilities are

extensive.

Along with semester and full-year

study abroad programs, there

are also summer and short-term

programs available for course credit.

Short-term programs can be done

during the summer, winter session

or spring break.

The Study Abroad Office offers

scholarships for students with the

desire to experience life in another

country. Most financial aid, such as

grants, loans and scholarships, can

also be applied towards your cost of

studying abroad.

“The most rewarding experiences I had while studying abroad occurred whenever I took the time to get to know the people around me. I will never forget some of the people I met from places like Seattle, Istanbul, Zurich, Berlin and Florence. I look forward to visiting these friends I have made both near and far.”

— Wil Stokes

THINGS I’VE CHANGED SINCE TRAVELING ABROAD: I recycle, do all my dishes by hand, ask a lot more questions,

listen better and call my parents more often.

GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

Along with our 200 majors, we also offer pre-law, pre-medicine and

pre-veterinary programs. Special advising is available, but you can pursue

these careers from any major you believe best prepares you. Once you

graduate, you can continue your studies at either of OSU’s veterinary or

medical schools, which are among the best in the nation.

“The first time I visited the OSU campus, I immediately felt a sense of home. The campus is absolutely stunning, but the people create the true family atmosphere here. I can’t imagine feeling more comfortable anywhere else.”
