The CHP has been recognized as one of the nation’s best! In a just published review, the CHP is ranked 7th nationally among public university honors programs. The editor states: “Our estimate is that UCI has the best honors program of all of the UC campuses because of its coherence and depth. The major components are the honors humanities core, the honors social science core, the honors science core, and the research/thesis requirement.”Wellingham, John, ed.
