The Weber Honors College provides an academic environment in which students experience a dynamic, interactive,
and engaged education. The objective of the Weber Honors College is to provide the
richest possible intellectual experience by helping students become conversant in
multiple disciplines, think flexibly, solve problems and pursue the creative expression
of ideas. The Weber Honors College features a unique interdisciplinary curriculum
made up of small, discussion-based seminars and innovative teaching techniques that
promote active engagement in the subject area and prepare students for high-impact
educational experiences beyond the classroom, including study abroad, research, leadership,
service, and creative activity; and for future graduate work and successful careers
regardless of their chosen field of study.
Recognizing that contemporary issues and problems defy easy categorization, the scope
of the Weber Honors College curriculum is deliberately interdisciplinary, flexible,
and capable of meeting the needs of students across a wide range of disciplines and
majors. The curriculum (Honors Minor in Interdisciplinary Studies) emphasizes discovery,
creativity, initiative, responsibility, collaboration, leadership, and independent
thought. These are the attributes that enhance opportunities for individuals, organizations,
and society as a whole. The integrative nature of the coursework invites students
to reach beyond the boundaries of their academic major and join in scholarly conversation
with students and faculty from disciplines other than their own.
Weber Honors College Mission
One of the most important aspects of participating in the Weber Honors College is
becoming part of the Honors culture at SDSU and getting to know other diverse, curious,
and motivated students who share a commitment to academic excellence. The mission
of the Weber Honors College is, however, about much more than aspiration and academic
excellence. It also provides a unique community of place and purpose and a gathering
space for diverse students who share a commitment to achievement, to giving back to
the communities in which they live and work, and to deep engagement. The Weber Honors
College fosters an intentional community of diverse, engaged students, a unique atmosphere
of creativity, interdisciplinary conversation, intellectualism, and collegiality.
