Stephen Knoepfler
Honors
Political Science / Philosophy
"I decided to join the Honors Program at Ohio State because Honors affords me a rigorous academic experience and opportunities to expand my education outside of the classroom through research, study abroad, and internships. Recently, an Honors class I took encouraged me to develop an interdisciplinary undergraduate research project. Honors has stressed to me the importance of studying abroad, and I will take pre-law classes at Oxford University in England this summer. Lastly, located in the state capital, Ohio State students enjoy numerous internship experiences, and the Honors Program has helped me to establish the contacts needed to acquire a high-profile political internship."

"The Humanities Scholars Program is what brought me here to OSU! Being apart of a living/learning program my first year challenged me academically and socially. Participating in the Leadership Council, going on trips, taking challenging classes, and meeting people who are now some of my closest friends sums up a program that after only one year I can say proudly that I am apart of!"
