Honors

This does not necessarily mean more work for honors students than for others…it means a different kind of work, with more individual attention from the professor than in a typical class. The honors classes are also different in design as each class explores the topic from an interdisciplinary perspective. Be ready to engage in courses such as Sociology of Religion, History of Western Thought, and Scripture as Literature.

Being an Honors student means:
1) Attending honors designated interdisciplinary courses that fulfill your general education requirements, and are designated to be provocative, interesting, and stimulating
2) Access and exposure to Columbia Union College's finest professors
3) Participating in smaller classes- honors courses will consist of 20 or fewer people allowing the opportunity to have thoughtful discussions and to make social connections with fellow honor students
4) Learning through activities such as study tours, concerts, plays, and exhibits while fulfilling your general education requirements
5) Conducting research and attending presentations at national institutions within the Washington, D.C., area
6) Engaging in a learning environment surrounded by the most motivated and thoughtful students who want to be challenged to expand their minds
7) Developing a honors project or thesis, thus enhancing professional opportunities or admission to graduate or professional schools
8) Challenging yourself to grow as a person through leadership and service
