We are constantly inventing ways to make your college experience even better!

Learning In the Nichols Community (LINC)
LINC is designed for first-year students who want to be part of a group of approximately 20 students who take 3 of their 5 fall semester classes together, as well as live on the same floor in Shamie Residence Hall.

You get to know your LINC peers through interactive coursework, special programs, field trips and residence programs. LINC professors take on the extra commitment to integrate your classes and design a unique experience.

It not only helps you connect with others on campus, but LINC students in 2005 and 2006 earned a higher grade point than the average first-year student at Nichols.

Honors Program
This program gives undergraduate students the opportunity to be recognized for outstanding academic achievement.

Participating students complete additional study requirements, including a senior-year Honors Scholar Seminar.

At Commencement, students completing the program with a 3.3 GPA or higher will earn an academic mark of distinction as a Nichols Honors Scholar. This special recognition is a testimony to the hard work and special talent of our finest students.
