The University Honors Program provides Santa Clara's most able students with intellectual opportunities based in small, seminar-style classes. With 14 to 17 students each, seminars emphasize analytical rigor, effective expression, and interaction among professors and students. The course of study combines broadly based, liberal learning with depth of specialization in a major field. Honors Program classes are designed to fit within the curricula of the humanities, natural and social sciences, business, and engineering. Possible majors include every undergraduate field in the University.

The Honors Program admits about 50 freshman students each year. Admission to the Program itself occurs through either invitation or special application.

Outstanding graduating seniors are also eligible to receive University awards.
