Crystal Peak University offers specialized academic programs that provide
enhanced opportunities for motivated students. These programs often require
separate applications or expressed interest during the admission process.

**Honors College:** The Crystal Peak Honors College offers enhanced academic
programming, including small seminar-style courses, undergraduate research
funding, priority course registration, and dedicated advising. First-year applicants
may indicate interest on their application or apply separately by February 1.
Honors College admission requires strong academic preparation and demonstrated
intellectual curiosity.

**Undergraduate Research Programs:** The Research Fellows Initiative connects
incoming students with faculty mentors during their first year. Students
receive summer research stipends and present findings at the annual Undergraduate
Research Symposium. Applicants interested in research should highlight relevant
experience in their application materials.

**Service Learning and Community Engagement:** The Civic Scholars Program
integrates community service with academic coursework across disciplines.
Participants complete structured service placements, reflection seminars, and
capstone projects addressing community needs. Admission to the program is
selective and considers demonstrated commitment to public service.

**Study Abroad Pathways:** Crystal Peak maintains exchange partnerships with
40+ universities across six continents. First-year applicants may express
interest in the Global Scholars track, which includes language requirements,
cultural preparation seminars, and guaranteed semester abroad placement.

**Accelerated Degree Programs:** Select departments offer combined bachelor's
and master's degree pathways, allowing students to complete both degrees in
five years. These programs have specific GPA and course prerequisites that
must be maintained throughout undergraduate study.

**Program Application Timing:** Some special programs accept applications only
after admission to Crystal Peak. Prospective students should not delay their
main application to complete supplemental materials for these programs.
