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.
Joining the program
Students with outstanding academic records are invited to join Honors after they apply to Earlham. But some students have interests and talents that aren’t well-represented in their high school or college transcripts. If you’re one of them, you can apply to join Earlham’s Honors Program after you arrive on campus.
