Sabreena Croteau of North Kingstown Accepted to Eastern Connecticut State University's Honors Program

2012 Nov 6

Eastern Connecticut State University has welcomed 23 first-year students to the University Honors Program. Freshmen are admitted to the program by the University Honors Council on the basis of their high school standing, accomplishments, and recommendations, only after they have been accepted into the University.

Sabreena Croteau '16 of North Kingstown, RI, is one of the newly select Honors Program students. Croteau's major is Sociology.

Honors courses are frequently team-taught and involve off campus experiences. The University's Honors Program's goal is to provide academically talented and venturesome students with an intellectually stimulating alternate course of study. Small classes, interdisciplinary topics, and professors dedicated to teaching create an atmosphere conducive to the open discussion of ideas and active learning. The Honors Thesis requirement provides an opportunity for students to work independently under the oversight of a faculty mentor.

The Honors community thrives in Eastern's small college atmosphere in which students readily get to know each other and their faculty. As Connecticut's public liberal arts university, Eastern offers 34 undergraduate majors, including those in both professional studies and education, as well as arts and sciences.
