Are you ready to aim higher and find your own greatness?
As a Reaud Honors College scholar, you will be empowered to achieve your maximum intellectual and personal potential in our welcoming and supportive community of students from all academic disciplines at Lamar University’s five undergraduate colleges: Arts and Sciences; Business; Education and Human Development; Engineering; and Fine Arts and Communication.
Our college helps you develop essential marketable skills—networking, teamwork, self-presentation, problem solving—and leadership skills—communication, delegation, creativity, trustworthiness—in ways that will complement your major and prepare you for a career, graduate school, or wherever your path takes you.
An integral leader in making dramatic, positive changes at Lamar University, the Reaud Honors College, which is housed in the new Wayne A. Reaud Administration building, is among the reasons that Lamar University earned a prestigious ranking in December 2021 as one of the “Top 10 Public Universities in Texas” by U.S. News and World Report.
Join our community and benefit from the honors advantage that teaches you how to aim higher and find your own greatness.
Your personal path to a brighter future begins here.
