The James Scholar Program

Photo of girl reading a book - stock photoThe Applied Health Sciences James Scholar Program offers undergraduate students the opportunity to enrich their educational experiences with a wide range of honors-based activities. Opportunity to earn honors credit in a number of different settings allow students to work and build relationships with our distinguished faculty, and gain invaluable research experiences unique to the James Scholar Program.

The program provides unique opportunities for participants to further enrich their educational experience through self-initiated projects and activities. Honors activities vary widely and depend on student interest, research opportunities, industry trends and faculty availability. Past participants have assisted faculty on research projects, conducted in-depth studies on a specific topic, and developed an applied solution for a current issue in their field of study.

Participation in the James Scholar Program entitles students to certain academic privileges, including early registration time and extended use of library facilities. In return, participants within the James Scholars Program hold the responsibility of seeking sustained intellectual achievement throughout their undergraduate careers.
