Thomas More Honors Program
The Honors Program is home to some of the University’s brightest and most committed students. The honors version of the Common Core—The Human Journey—is rigorous but also highly student directed, in that students are given greater latitude in selecting readings and designing assignments and, in general, are invited to take active responsibility for what they are learning.
The limited size of the University’s program and the number of course offerings means that honors students receive highly individualized instruction. Since the best learning can sometimes take place outside the classroom, the program coordinates and funds opportunities every semester to travel as a group to off-campus cultural events and provides a stipend for students who study abroad.
The mission of the students in the Honors Program is to serve as leaders in the intellectual, cultural, and spiritual life of the University. In this way, honors students can themselves become leaders and active learners. For more information, visit the Honors Program website.
