Join the Carl Goodson Honors Program

Founded in 1964, the Carl Goodson Honors Program was established for motivated, high-achieving students to further pursue academic excellence and conduct undergraduate research – offering outstanding students a community of scholars to encourage them in their studies and career goals.

The Carl Goodson Honors Program allows students to explore subjects beyond Ouachita’s regular curriculum as well as hands-on, interdisciplinary seminars and colloquia. Honors Program students have opportunities to lead and mentor their peers as student ambassadors and undertake directed studies on campus and abroad.

Ouachita’s Honors students enjoy the traditions of the Carl Goodson Honors Program while embracing all aspects of university life, participating in sports and social clubs and developing lifelong friendships with students from across campus.

The Carl Goodson Honors Program is a member institution of the National Collegiate Honors Council.

We look forward to having you join us!
