Honors Program<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The ÈâÂþÎÝ Honors Program invites exceptional students to experience the world more attentively and empathetically, to engage it critically and creatively, and to participate actively in its betterment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We seek students who want to get the most out of the academic opportunities college offers, and in return\u00a0desire to contribute to a better world after graduation. With this vision in mind, each year ÈâÂþÎÝ admits a select group of promising first-year students to join\u00a0the Honors Program. The program is available to qualifying first-year students regardless of major.<\/p>\n

Our program\u2019s mission stems from North Park\u2019s mission to prepare students for lives of significance and service. The Honors Program includes both\u00a0classroom and co-curricular activities\u00a0during all four years of a traditional undergraduate degree program. It customizes a rich and rigorous program for highly motivated, curious, and intellectually advanced students. We seek students willing to take some risks in their college education, so they can discover their own voice. As a Christian university centered in the city of Chicago, the Honors Program challenges our students to deepen their sense of vocation within diverse communities, broaden the application of their talents in new and unexpected ways, and practice a civic responsibility in contemporary contexts.<\/p>\n

By completing the program, you\u2019ll graduate with honors and distinction in your major and a resume of college classes and experiences to further your success after graduation. The program expects that our graduates will have utilized their college years to the fullest so that upon graduation they will be mature and capable persons, ready to show the world new possibilities.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner gap=”30″][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1545167945140{padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #f1f1f1 !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1669131762134{padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
