Burnett Honors College is an academic college of the University of Central Florida located in Orlando, Florida, United States.[1] Founded in 1998 as the University Honors Program, it was expanded and renamed in 2002 in response to a $1.5 million gift by Al and Nancy Burnett.[2] The current dean of the college is Sheila Amin Gutiérrez de Piñeres, Ph.D.[3]
The college administers UCF's two honors programs, University Honors and Honors Undergraduate Thesis (HUT), through programs of advanced study at the university's main campus in Orlando. These programs encompass students who are also in one of UCF's twelve other academic colleges but have applied to and been accepted to the Burnett Honors College. The college offers an honors dormitory in the Towers at Knights Plaza, and honors students are assisted with applying for post-graduate honors and fellowships.
