Gateway to Honors is a mandatory class all incoming freshman and transition students to honors must take. The class is designed to inform students who are new to the program about the all the incredible opportunities UHP has to offer. One of the main reasons I chose UC was for the Honors Program. This program is unlike many other universities' honors program in the way that it does not force you to take rigorous courses but rather provides the opportunity for students to reflect internally and externally through various different means such as seminars, self-design proposals, or pre-approved options.
