Honors Program
Honors at Earlham is a vibrant, close-knit community of students. As part of your Honors Seminars, you’ll collaborate with other students from across the College and around the world, designing games, building escape rooms, writing songs, and developing chatbots that help other Honors students learn about everything from archaeology to neuroscience.
Honors students also have the opportunity to join project-based Honors courses, collaborative research groups, and community engagement projects. If you’d like to learn astronomy by collaborating with international observatories, or explore computer science by building better mail filters, or develop pet-naming strategies that help local shelters find better homes for their animals, Earlham’s Honors program has opportunities for you.
