Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein Honors Program

Upper Manhattan hums with classic pre-war buildings and the steady pulse of student life. Tucked among them, the Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein Honors Program offers a selective undergraduate path built on small seminars and faculty mentorship. From anthropology to urban studies, students tackle interdisciplinary research before diving deep into thesis work across disciplines. The program pairs scholars with advisors from across the arts and sciences, then invites them to present findings at an annual symposium. Registration, advising, and thesis submissions all flow through the same office, so each step stays in one place.

You’ll find the program at 2495 Amsterdam Ave, New York, NY 10033, a single red-brick building north of the main campus. To reach an advisor, dial *5961. A simple map shows the quickest walk from the 1 train at 191st Street, or follow the route south past the Audubon Ballroom and into the academic core. Print the directions before you leave. That stretch of Amsterdam can look like any other Upper Manhattan block once you’re off campus, so keep an eye on the numbers.
