Challenge yourself to go the extra intellectual mile. Be a part of a community of the most engaged and curious students on campus.
The Honors Program provides exciting learning opportunities that go above and beyond ordinary courses for students who seek more challenging intellectual engagements and debates. Students will examine topics in great depth through topical courses and conclude with an honors thesis.
Honors students come from all departments across campus and bring their unique abilities and interest to their honors courses. Honors courses are taught by faculty from all departments and offer very different department perspectives. This broad mix of students, professors and topics make honors courses different than any other courses you’ll take on campus.
Students who did not apply to the program as part of their admission process to the College can also be nominated by the end of their first semester at the College by a professor. In both cases they have to submit an application, and a 500-word essay about a topic that will be provided.
Fall 2021 applicants to the College will be notified with more information about the application process later in the spring semester. To be recognized as an Honors graduate of Monmouth College, a student must have at least 4.0 course credits in the Honors Program, attain at least a grade of B− in each course, and graduate with a 3.5 cumulative GPA from Monmouth.
