Vision

The Honors College at NKU inspires students, faculty, and staff by creating a bold, innovative environment in which to reshape the landscape of higher education. We see the Honors College as a laboratory of learning, where students, faculty members, and the broader community exceed the bounds of a conventional university education, recognize failure as necessary to learning and growth, and embrace creativity and curiosity as central to a transformative educational experience.
Mission

The Honors College serves students by offering a unique, transformative undergraduate experience through enhanced and enriched curricular, co-curricular, amd extra-curricular opportunities that prepares students to become creative, independent thinkers, and collaborative problem solvers, as well as active, empathetic and informed global citizens.  

The Honors College serves the campus community by providing a pedagogical laboratory wherein faculty and students can envision and experiment with collaborative opportunities that transcend disciplinary boundaries and conventional methods of educational delivery.  

The Honors College serves external partners by linking campus community and instilling in our students a sense of personal and social responsibility that will lead the community well into the future. 

Values

As students, faculty, and staff in the Honors College at NKU, we promise to:

Nurture curiosity within ourselves and among our peers.

Open our minds to foster creativity.

Respect one another and welcome a diversity of people, ideas, and personal experiences.

Serve the greater communities within which we live.
