Small Classes, Residential Community
As an Honors College student, you’ll have access to small, discussion-based classes, especially in your first year. You will be able to join a residential community where you live with students who are as excited about learning as you are.

Supporting Your Intellectual Journey
The Commonwealth Honors College experience integrates with your academic interests and provides an engaged community that helps expand your intellectual explorations. Commonwealth Honors College offers enhanced advising, intellectually stimulating classes, and a supportive framework—and funding opportunities—to enable you to complete an Honors Thesis, the culmination of your learning experience at UMass Amherst.
