The Carroll College Honors Program was established to provide an enriched curriculum for the academically talented student. This interdisciplinary program offers intensive sections of courses distributed over the arts and sciences, and culminates in the senior year with a scholarly study within, or related to, the student’s major. The Honors Program also provides special cultural and social activities on and off campus.

Upon completion of normal Carroll College admission, all freshman applicants are considered for the Honors Program. Following a comprehensive review, the Honors Committee invites selected candidates to apply to the program. Late applicants, as well as transfer students and students currently enrolled at Carroll, are considered for the program on the basis of available openings.

Students participating in the Honors Program are expected to complete a six-course curriculum including an Honors First Year Seminar, an Honors Writing Seminar, three honors courses that might fulfill general education requirements and a senior honors experience (a research project, independent study or creative work). To complete the program successfully, a student must attain a grade point average of at least 3.40 with grades of B or better in each honors course.
