Emmanuel College Honors Program

Emmanuel College's Honors Program offers highly motivated students a comprehensive, four-year academic and co-curricular  experience culminating in a senior capstone project.

By participating in the Honors Program, students complete course work in a challenging, discussion-based environment with  complementary opportunities highlighting Boston's outstanding music, lectures, arts, theater and museums. Students also have chances to participate in faculty-directed research projects and service in the community.

The program begins their first year with the Honors Colloquium, a one-semester forum for students to engage in an active and open  dialogue with their peers and members of the College's faculty from across the disciplines.

Selection into the Honors Program is offered to our most competitive applicants. Qualified students have shown outstanding success in their academic courses, portrayed a strong motivation for academic rigor and are contributing citizens to their community.

• small interactive class discussions with a cohort of like-minded students
• close working relationships with faculty members
• an Honors Colloquium
• four interdisciplinary, writing-intensive seminars of small size (20 students maximum) that fulfill General Requirements
