Polymathic Scholars

A polymath is a person with broad and varied interests (so, no, it's not about math). Follow your curiosity to new pursuits in our most interdisciplinary honors program.

The best part about the Polymathic Scholars program is the freedom that our program makes space for—freedom to take classes for the joy of learning, freedom to connect with faculty in any discipline across campus, freedom to follow our innate curiosity alongside our commitment to science. I’ve had the opportunity to study history, gender studies, design thinking, policy and more, and it has cultivated my inherent motivation to contribute meaningfully to my fields of interest. Being in an honors program that centers around diversity of ideas has made me a better person every day.”
