Each year Loyola accepts approximately fifty freshman into the
Honors program. Would you like to be one of them? This page will
help you to understand just what that entails.
Loyola College has a separate application for the Honors Program
which is post marked each year on February 15th. Students who check that
they are interested in the Honors Program on their college application
will receive an application by mail. If you did not receive an application
or forgot to check the box, you can print out your own version of
the application here.
You can also reach an application via the college's
application page.
Other things you might like to know:
- The Honors program sponsors many free activities for its students.
The events for this year can be viewed under events.
- The Honors faculty must apply in order to teach Honors classes.
This assures that the Honors students learn from the best faculty
that the campus has to offer.
- You do not have to be a Humanities major in order to be in the
Honors program. In fact, almost half of our student major in other
areas such as Mathematics, Computer Science, Biology, and more.
- Advanced Placement credit in either History or English cannot
be counted towards your core requirements in the Honors Program.
Instead it can be used as an elective credit.
- The Honors program restructures your core requirements so that
you learn by time period and not by subject. The curriculum can
be viewed under curriculum.
- The Honors program is completely compatible with Loyola's Study
Abroad program.
- Being in the Honors Program does not separate you from the rest
of the freshman at Loyola. Want to know how meeting people in
he Honors Program works? Look here.
- Want to double major or even major and minor? This is still
possible, with a little bit of careful planning.
- Interested in FE100 or Alpha in comparison to honors? FE100
and Alpha only take place during your fall semester freshman year,
while Honors runs all four years. All of the programs will help
you to make friends and adjust to college life. They all provide
out of the classroom enrichment activities.
- Honors housing is available in Middle Courtyard. Honors housing
is not required of Honors students and is not limited to students
in the Honors Program.
- Honors class sizes are about 17 students.
