The University Honors Program is an academic learning community that offers a broad range of enriched educational experiences, typically found at a small private college, for bright, talented, and ambitious undergraduate students. The main goals of the program are:

1. Interdisciplinary Scholarship – developing the ability to integrate knowledge to express well-constructed insight and originality of thought through multidisciplinary courses and methodologies.
2. Intellectual and Creative Engagement – using the appropriate methodology and theoretical framework that includes design, synthesis, and interdisciplinary research.
3. Citizen Scholar – addressing real-world problems and finding ethical solutions, a process that culminates in reflective civic engagement, respect for diversity, and service-oriented action.

The University Honors Program offers opportunities for broader, deeper, and more complex learning experiences for students through interdisciplinary, theme-driven course sequences. Courses are designed for students who are motivated to develop their critical and creative thinking in a more personalized atmosphere than may be expected in typical courses. These courses are offered in small class sizes (25 maximum enrollment), deal with broad and/or interdisciplinary issues, and confront some aspect of the human condition. Innovative teaching and assignments are encouraged, and interaction with faculty and class members is lively.

University Tutoring supports students from diverse backgrounds in developing the active learning skills and content knowledge they need to meet their academic and professional goals.  We provide a range of academic support services through our constituent programs (see below), including individual tutoring, group tutoring, in-person tutoring, and virtual tutoring.  Tutoring sessions are by appointment, with some walk-in sessions available.  Our primary goal is to facilitate students’ persistence through the academic challenges they face while promoting their long-term self-efficacy.

Content Area Tutoring

The Content Area Tutoring (CAT) program provides tutoring in all academic areas (except writing and math, which are handled through the Writing and Math Centers). Tutoring information is available at the Student Success Center in Pocatello (REND 323, (208)-282-3662) or Idaho Falls (CHE 220, (208)-282-7925).

Information on tutoring support for College of Technology students is available at isu.edu/tech/tutoring.

Math Center

The Math Center provides tutoring services to help students understand concepts in undergraduate math courses and courses with a math component.  Tutors clarify what students know, how a math concept has been taught to them, and why they may be struggling with a particular concept.  Tutors also work other examples with students to suggest approaches to the math problems that students are doing and enhance understanding.

Writing Center

The Writing Center provides in-person, online, and written feedback to help students improve the quality of their writing for undergraduate and graduate courses in all subjects.  Tutors are available by appointment to work with students at any stage of the writing process, from generating ideas to revising full drafts.  They assist with organization and development of ideas for particular audiences and purposes, as well as with issues of punctuation and usage.
