The contributions in this collection provide important answers and compelling evidence that honors programming does contribute something above and beyond what honors students themselves bring to the educational experience. While many of the chapters rely on analytic methods that are more widely used in some fields than in others, authors have endeavored to include definitions and more explanation of statistical terms than one might typically find in a disciplinary journal where readers and writers share a common analytic frame and vocabulary. The collection features a variety of formal research contributions that make use of rigorous multivariate and other research methods designed to isolate the unique effects of honors program participation on student success, bolstering the accumulation of evidence on the question of the value added from honors education.
