Highlights of the Honors Program
- Scholarship Opportunity: Each student admitted to the Honors Program is eligible for the Honors Program Scholarship.
- Academic Rigor: Incoming students take the full-year HON 101-102 sequence. Subsequent Honors seminars are interdisciplinary courses that faculty custom design to challenge our high-achieving students. Honors seminars are offered each semester. Recent offerings include: PHI 199H: Good Thinking; THE 299H: Voice and Speech—Communicating under Pressure; ENG 399H: Cold War Literature and Culture; BIO 399H: The Little Things That Run the World; WLE 399H: Forests, Parks, and Wilderness; HIS 399H: Culture Wars in the Modern Age; SCI 399H: Let There Be Light
- Professional Development: Honors students are provided with many opportunities to pursue professional development. Students regularly present at the Brevard College Undergraduate Research Conference, participate in the Food for Thought Program, complete guided research projects, and attend workshops and conferences off campus. For example, a recent Honors student completed a summer study program at the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
- Program Events: Honors students have the opportunity to attend exclusive program events, such as the annual dinner reception, panel discussions, the Food for Thought Forum, cohort-building activities, etc.
- Leadership: Honors students are able to develop leadership opportunities by serving as peer leaders, teaching assistants, tutors, and more. Fulfilling such leadership roles is a major aspect of the Honors Program.
- Mentoring: Honors students are coached and mentored by the caring and talented faculty who teach Honors courses. Honors students can also meet with the Honors Program director, Dr. Jordan Kuck, who can advise about course offerings, career aspirations, etc.
