Honors Coursework
An Education of Discovery
Through smaller, inquiry-based, discussion-oriented classes, students in the JWHC have the chance to engage their studies more independently and creatively than normal. We like to say that honors courses are "not necessarily more work," but rather a "different kind of work." The honors curriculum's focus on depth and relevance means that honors students spend less time on busy work and more time engaging primary sources, learning through hands-on experiences, and grappling with the enduring significance of course material for their life and faith. The Honors College also offers numerous co-curricular opportunities, both on and off campus, that allow students to connect these learning experiences to the broader world in which they live.
