Community

At the root of human communication is the idea of community. And in the honors program, you’ll connect with an engaged and intellectually curious community to learn, grow and explore all that our world-class college of communication has to offer. 

In the classroom, you’ll not only study the nature of communication and community, you’ll meet other curious and engaged students like you.  You’ll also have opportunities to learn, network and serve outside the classroom via special lectures, social events, service projects, community partners and the Moody College Honors Student Council. 

The Moody College Honors Program affords me the opportunity to connect with some of the brightest students in my field. It has been a pleasure to interact with other students through the program's various special topic courses and community socials.
