Summer Is a Hot Time for Research
The summer is not a break from research at UT Dallas, and the Summer Platform for Undergraduate Research (SPUR) symposium offers everyone on campus an opportunity to view that work. Here are inside looks at three Hobson Wildenthal Honors College programs that were represented: Comets HELP: Words matter in geriatric care | Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship Program (URAP): No experience required | Clark Summer Research Program: A valuable head start
Academic Programs
Established in 2014, the Hobson Wildenthal Honors College houses multiple programs dedicated to promoting excellence in undergraduate education.
Four of these programs (excluding Honors Community College Connect) offer a four-year cohort experience to participating students, with admission generally restricted to incoming college freshmen.
Our programs enrich the academic experience of matriculated UTD students.
