The document discusses the University Honors Program at UC. It provides an overview of the program framework which includes a first-year experience using e-portfolios, honors seminar courses, and experiential learning projects. Students in the top 5% of undergraduates are challenged through honors seminars and projects focused on community engagement, global studies, leadership, research, and creative arts. Experiential learning projects are significant learning experiences outside the classroom related to the thematic areas. E-portfolios are used to showcase and integrate learning through artifacts from coursework and projects.
