The mission of Olivet's Honors Program is to encourage and nurture academically gifted students, helping them to believe in their possibilities, preparing them to become the Christian scholars and servant leaders they were meant to be.
During your first two years as an honor student, you will take four interdisciplinary, team-taught classes covering an intriguing topic. In your last two years, you will undertake a substantial, faculty-mentored research project.
Program highlights include:
- One-on-one mentored research with a professor of your 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, you should:
- Verify a composite ACT score of at least 30 or a Math & Critical Reading combined SAT score of at least 1330.
- Submit the completed application form with required essay
- Participate in an on-campus interview with two faculty members (Phone interviews are acceptable under special circumstances)
