For over a decade, the Cedar Crest Honors Program has been a stimulating and enriching accompaniment to the college experience for traditional students and lifelong learners.

It is a way for the academically superior student to challenge and reward herself as she expands her horizons through a unique set of non-traditional learning opportunities as well as special cultural, intellectual and social activities.

Honors courses are cross-disciplinary in nature, at times team-taught, with an emphasis on developing the talents of unusually gifted students and promoting understanding of diverse approaches to the questions and problems inherent in the human condition.

Individual or group projects in place of traditional exams, off-campus learning excursions, informal discussion sessions and guest lecturers enhance the honors classroom experience. Students who participate in this prestigious program and graduate with an Honors Diploma find it a valuable addition to their résumés, for application to graduate or professional school and pursuit of a career.
