The Honors Program at Pacific Union College invites motivated, articulate and intellectually courageous individuals to join our quota of 25 students each fall. The program is rooted in the Great Books tradition and replaces general education for the participants. Integrating core texts with art, music, film and travel (a trip to Italy), the discussion-based program models a holistic approach to learning while enlarging a deep spiritual commitment to God. Students may receive up to $3000 toward tuition expenses.
