| Felician College's Honors Program invites students with
strong academic records to join the Honors Program and strive toward graduating
as an Honors Scholar. Selection into the program is a clear recognition
of students' academic achievements and leadership potential. Students with
high SATs and a minimum of B+ overall high school average, first semester
freshmen with B+ averages, and transfer students with less than thirty-six
transfer credits and past cumulative averages of B+ are encouraged to become
Honors students. High-level intellectual discussions, an emphasis upon primary
readings, the opportunity to pursue in-depth research, and a service requirement,
are the focus and will benefit students of all majors in their daily lives
and future professions. Graduating as an Honors Scholar, after completion
of a minimum of twenty-seven credits of Honors courses and a ninety hour
service requirement (fifteen hours a semester for any six semesters) afford
a wide variety of academic experiences with a foundation of preparedness
for one's roles in society and as an added plus in applying to graduate
and professional schools and a lifetime commitment to service and leadership.
Intensive student-faculty collaboration characterizes the Honors Program,
which serves to enhance the richness and diversity of academic pursuit at
Felician College. |
| |
| The mission of the Honors Program is to provide students,
who have strong academic backgrounds, intensive courses focusing on primary
sources and public speaking in a seminar setting and to develop a lifelong
commitment to service and leadership. The Honors Program also seeks to engender
in students a love of learning and a respect for all of God's creation. |
