The Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College is an academic, residential college of Florida Atlantic University at the John D. MacArthur campus in Jupiter, Florida. The college opened in 1999 and offers a liberal arts education through the platform of a public institution, with a focus on interdisciplinary studies. It features a student body of 500 and 32 full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty, all of whom have terminal degrees in their field. On July 1, 2020, Justin Perry began serving as dean. Like many honors colleges in the US, the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College is part of a large public university. Unlike other honors colleges, it is an immersive experience, with students taking all or nearly all of their coursework (120+ hours) within the college, and few if any classes from other colleges within the University. The college shares the Jupiter Campus with the Scripps Research Institute and the Max Planck Florida Institute, where many Wilkes Honors College students have been accepted to participate in internships. Academics The Wilkes Honors College offers a full complement of degree-fulfilling courses taught by its own faculty. The college emphasizes small class size, with a faculty-student ratio of approximately 1:15. Its core curriculum, which makes up about a third of credit requirements for the B.A., focuses on critical thinking and writing skills in a broad range of disciplines. One distinguishing feature of the curriculum is that students are required to take at least three separate classes which are team-taught by faculty in different disciplines. An additional graduation requirement is that students complete either an internship or a study abroad and, as noted below, an honors thesis. Scholarships Scholarships are abundant for students attending Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College. The college offers a number of scholarships that cover the full cost of enrolling at the institution.
