The Commonwealth Honors Program at Bridgewater State University encourages gifted and highly motivated students to reach their highest potential through critical thinking, scholarship and research. Small classes and close student-faculty relations provide for the vigorous exchange of ideas, while the program as a whole attempts to create an atmosphere fostering intellectual, artistic and academic achievement. Students earn honors credits by taking honors sections of regular courses and/or honors colloquia during their freshman and sophomore years and work with faculty mentors to generate and pursue research projects during their junior and senior years. The Adrian Tinsley Program for Undergraduate Research, open to all BSU students, provides opportunities and grants to support student research and creative achievement (www.bridgew.edu/atp).
