Changemaker Scholars
Incoming Freshmen: Are you interested in understanding the root causes of social problems and working
with others on creative solutions that make a lasting impact? The Changemaker Scholars
program helps students acquire the knowledge, skills, resources, and mindset to become
creative problem-solvers, engaged citizens, and active agents for positive change
in their communities.
Quillen Honors Scholars
Incoming Freshmen: Have you already decided to dedicate yourself to a career as a medical professional?
The Honors College and the Quillen College of Medicine have collaborated to create
the Honors and Quillen Partnership Program (aka Quillen Honors Scholars) that allows
high-achieving students to apply and be accepted to medical school while completing
their undergraduate and medical school programs of study separately. Selected Early
Assurance matriculants are able to bypass some of the traditional medical school requirements,
like taking the MCAT and interviewing at multiple schools. This program includes a
funded, faculty-led study abroad experience the summer after the first year!
Undergraduate Research Honors Scholars
Incoming Freshmen, Transfer Students, and current ETSU students: formerly known as the "Honors-in-Discipline" program, the URHP features 24 Departments across ETSU offering opportunities for students to engage in honors instruction in discipline-specific curricula that culminate in a hands-on, mentor-guided, senior honors thesis project. As an Undergraduate Research Honors Program Scholar you will be a part of the larger Honors community and have opportunities to network with your Honors peers, study abroad, participate in internships, engage in additional research, or travel to present your research at conferences.
