Olivet Nazarene University

 

     

 

Academically talented students often learn at a different pace, hold unique interests and maintain special academic ambitions. They see different things, ask different questions, investigate novel topics and discover threads of connection.

The mission of the Olivet Honors Program is to encourage and nurture academically talented students in the integration of Christian faith and scholarship, preparing them for servant leadership in the Church and world.

Olivet's honors students take four interdisciplinary, team-taught classes on novel topics during the first two years, and in the last two years perform funded, one-on-one mentored research projects. Program highlights include:

• One-on-one mentored research with professor of student’s choice, funding provided; or study abroad opportunities during junior year
• Presentation of research at an Honors Research Symposium
• Numerous community service and cultural event opportunities

For consideration into Olivet’s Honors Program, students should:

• Verify an ACT score of at least 30 or SAT score of at least 1340
• Submit completed application form with required essay

  Applications are received in February and March. Applications should be received no later than two weeks before scheduled campus visit.

• Participate in on-campus interview with two faculty members

  Phone interviews are acceptable under special circumstances.
