The College of Mount Saint Vincent Honors Program provides competent and motivated students with a stimulating environment to maximize their intellectual and personal development. The Honors Curriculum is designed to challenge students through all four years of their undergraduate experience, while ensuring their exposure to academic experiences that fit the mission of the College.
The Honors Program has fewer requirements than the traditional core curriculum, which enables students to develop an educational experience tailored to their academic and intellectual interests. The program can be completed while pursuing any of the majors offered by the College.
Small classes and innovative teaching methods (seminars, group projects, individual mentoring and field trips) are some of the special features offered by the Honors Program.
Incoming full-time freshmen with outstanding academic backgrounds, and full-time first term freshmen who earn a GPA above 3.5, are invited to contact Honors Program Director Dr. Daniel Hrubes.
