Wiley University, a historically Black educational institution in Marshall, Texas, has established the Heman Sweatt Honors College, which will officially launch and enroll its first student cohort in the upcoming fall 2024 semester. The new initiative aims to create an enhanced learning, research, and development community for academically successful students.
Students who are accepted into the honors college will receive access to a dedicated honors living community, technology-designed classes, research projects, and faculty mentors. Additionally, honors college students will receive financial support through an academic scholarship, as well as funding for up to three summer internships and a study abroad experience in their junior year. The initial cohort of the the Heman Sweatt Honors College will consist of 20 to 25 students.
“I am incredibly excited to return to our roots with the addition of the Honors College program,” said Morgan King, inaugural director of the Heman Sweatt Honors College and assistant dean of education and sciences at Wiley University. “The Heman Sweatt Honors College will provide a curated academic experience for students seeking to challenge themselves above the traditional academic experience.”
