Resources are invested to recruit the best and brightest students into honors programs and colleges across the United States, yet little is known about honors students' holistic success and well-being. Although honors students often perform well academically, there is evidence they may experience challenges to their psychological and social well-being (Walker, 2012). The conceptual framework of thriving, defined as academic, psychological, and social well-being (Schreiner, 2010a), provided the context of this study of honors students. The purpose of this study was to determine how well a national model of thriving fit an honors student sample and the extent to which a psychological sense of community, campus involvement, student-faculty interaction, spirituality, and student demographic characteristics contributed to the variation in honors students' thriving. The Thriving Quotient (TQ; Schreiner, 2012) was administered to participants in this longitudinal study to explore pathways to honors student thriving over the course of an academic semester. Participants included 945 traditional-aged college students enrolled in 11 honors programs or colleges, representing a variety of United States private and public institutions with differing Carnegie classifications. The sample was predominantly White (92.9%) and female (76.3%). Structural equation modeling (SEM) indicated that the existing model of college student thriving among traditional undergraduates was a poor fit; therefore, an alternative model was created that evidenced an acceptable fit to this sample of honors students (χ2(173) = 711.721; p < .000; CFI = .895; RMSEA = .057). In this model, a psychological sense of community was the strongest predictor of the variance in honors student thriving, followed by campus involvement, student-faculty interaction, and spirituality. Recommendations for practice to help honors students thrive in college include (a) establishing a sense of community on campus, (b) encouraging honors students to become selectively involved on campus, (c) engaging faculty in appreciative advising with honors students, (d) recognizing spirituality as a potential pathway to honors students' thriving, and (e) expending resources on programming to support and enhance honors students' psychological well-being.
