Stretching your mind

The Honors Program is designed to take students with exceptional academic promise and inspire and train them for advanced Christian leadership while making the most out of their education and experience. The program focuses on developing Christian critical thinking skills and aims to teach students to use their mind to fully love God and serve others.

The program promotes the intellectual challenge of academically rigorous courses and a community of scholars. Each cohort is a group of approximately 15 dedicated students who take Honors courses together, often study together, room together, pray together, and generally support one another. This program helps develop strong, lifelong friendships in both the cohort and with other students in the program. All Honors students build community by attending special on- and off-campus events intended to expose them to a broad range of ideas and stretch their Christian critical thinking skills.
