Brock Scholars Minor

The Minor in the Brock Scholars Program is a four-year interdisciplinary program in the UTC Honors College where highly motivated students can pursue an education that nurtures their intellects, sense of social responsibility, and drive to lead.

The Brock Scholars curriculum consists of specially designed seminar courses that also fulfill general education requirements, as well as experiential learning courses that give students opportunities to develop and practice essential skills while challenging themselves beyond the classroom. The flexible nature of our curriculum allows students from any academic major to participate in the program.

All Brock Scholars are admitted via an application process that is in addition to the university’s central application process. Brock Scholars complete between 25 and 31 credit hours in honors to complete their minor.
