The College Honors Program exemplifies Messiah College's commitment to academic excellence and fostering an intellectually rigorous Christian world view.
The College Honors Program is designed for students who demonstrate high scholarly ability early in their academic career. The program provides a series of interdisciplinary honors courses which satisfy selected general education requirements. In addition, various campus activities are designed each semester for participants in the College Honors Program.
Participation in the program culminates in an honors research project, typically during the senior year. Research Grants are available to support students' Honors Project research.
Admission to the program is highly competitive and students selected for the College Honors Program receive either full tuition or partial tuition scholarships.
Candidates for the College Honors Program are selected from the pool of Freshman applicants who have completed an application for admission by January 15. The minimum qualifications include a math/critical reading 1300 SAT score (or ACT composite of 29) and ranking in the top 10% of the student's high school class.
All candidates are invited to the college for an on-campus interview. Students admitted to the College Honors Program are notified during early March. Enrollment is limited to 85 first-year students.
If you have any questions or would like to request further information, contact Dr. Dean C. Curry, Program Director.
