The Thomas Hunter Honors Program

The Thomas Hunter Honors Program is an upper-level interdisciplinary honors program that nurtures and supports outstanding students who wish to challenge themselves through interdisciplinary studies. The program may be combined with, or replace, a formal departmental major/minor. The Thomas Hunter Honors Program is open to B.A. students of high intellectual ability and interdisciplinary interests with a proven record at Hunter. These students replace some of the college's general education requirements with a special honors curriculum under the supervision of the Council on Honors.

The Public Service Scholar Program

The Public Service Scholar Program introduces up to twenty-four Hunter College students to careers in public service each year. Participants are selected in the spring for the following academic year.

The program combines a year-long twenty hour a week internship in a public or nonprofit agency with two seminars on issues important to the future of New York City. Special events such as tours, guest lectures and career workshops enhance the program. Acceptance to the program comes with a $6000 stipend.
