Honors Program

Are you interested in attending an accredited Christian university where you learn from caring and credentialed faculty in small, Ivy League-sized Honors seminars with intellectually curious classmates who have an average SAT of 1340?

If you participated in Gifted and Talented programs in high school or if you are academically talented and serious about your studies and seek to be appropriately challenged, you should consider the academic enrichment of our Honors Program along with its merit-based scholarships.

If you have an SAT of 1270 or an ACT of 29 and a high school unweighted GPA of 3.50, or if you have a college GPA of 3.50 and you are in no later than your second semester of your Freshman year, you may qualify to apply to our Honors Program (application deadline is April 1). Currently, 637 scholars from 44 states and 12 foreign countries participate in the Honors Program and receive scholarships that range from $4,000 annually to full tuition, room and board (for 48 National Merit Finalists). Check the Prospective Students page for further details.
