    Honors education is characterized by in-class and extracurricular activities that are measurably broader, deeper, or more complex than comparable learning experiences typically found at institutions of higher education. Honors experiences include a distinctive learner-directed environment and philosophy, provide opportunities that are appropriately tailored to fit the institution's culture and mission, and frequently occur within a close community of students and faculty (National Collegiate Honors Council).

    “We are very excited to resume the Honors Program at Southern Wesleyan so that our students can benefit from a mentoring relationship with a faculty member while delving deeper into their academic field. This program will prepare students to take the next steps towards fulfilling the purpose God created them for whether it’s going to graduate school, teaching in a school, creating a non-profit, or entering a corporate environment. At SWU, our faculty are excellent at getting to know students beyond just a name on a paper, and working with a student on an honors project allows us as educators the opportunity to take that academic relationship to a new level," remarked Professor Laura Timmerman, Honors Oversight Committee Co-chair. Shannon Brooks (Director of Library Services) will also serve as Co-chair.
