The All-University Honors Program at Concordia
Concordia's All-University Honors Program is an interdisciplinary course of study that challenges talented students of diverse backgrounds to integrate Christian faith and academic learning and as they practice scholarship and service in a global context.
| Two slots are still open for the Fall 2008 Honors class. Applications will be accepted until all slots fill. | The All-University Honors Program offers an alternative approach to a typical education at Concordia. It reinvigorates the liberal arts by fully embracing interdisciplinary learning. The All-University Honors Program creates fellowship unequalled on campus as students take the core block of courses together. It provides opportunities for students to become leaders in research and service to others and anchors learning in a constant conversation with the Christian gospel, which is at the heart of the institution.
According to John Osborne, "The vast majority of students at most public and private institutions are indifferent or even hostile to education by the time they come to college. They desire practical training, not education, and resent any learning that does not appear to be career oriented."(1) By contrast, Concordia’s All-University Honors Program is an opportunity and a challenge to those who wish for more from a degree. Its passion for excellence and focus on service to others and the world will foster growth among those with advanced talent and experience and will illumine educational possibilities for all to see.
