Be a Leader in the Intellectual Life of the Campus

What is the Honors Program?

The Assumption College Honors Program is a selective program designed to foster academic engagement inside and outside the classroom. The program promotes intellectual friendship and discourse while providing a common, intensive learning experience in small seminar classes.Student speaking with Professor

The program reflects the mission of the college by providing a curriculum that offers:

  • a high quality liberal education
  • in-depth disciplinary and professional training
  • opportunities to learn from and contribute to the local, national, and global community
  • a basis for a meaningful personal, professional, spiritual, family, and civic life.

Students in the Assumption College Honors Program are passionate about ideas and learning, eager to grow by taking on challenges, and committed to making a difference in their communities. For that reason, honors students are encouraged to select courses and projects that reflect their individual interests, connect their classroom studies with experience in the community, collaborate on research with faculty members, and design independent projects. Students selected for the Honors Program become members of a lively community that offers activities, the chance to build life-long relationships, and the opportunity to develop as leaders.
