Lasallian Honors Program

(37-38 crs.)

The Lasallian Honors Program is especially for those students interested in a rigorous academic experience conducted through interdisciplinary, shared inquiry seminars.  Students with eligible academic records are invited to join the Program during their university application process.  Others who are interested in the Program should inquire with the Program Director about possible participation before they enroll in classes at the university.  Successful completion of the Program satisfies all the requirements of a student’s general education course of study.

The Program is designed around seven core interdisciplinary seminars that incorporate as their defining practice the exercise of shared inquiry, a mode of learning in which the students and teacher explore together the significance and implication of foundational texts throughout history.  The Program uses a cohort model of learning such that all students in the Program take the same series of classes together throughout their collegiate career.  By emphasizing foundational texts, shared inquiry, interdisciplinary study, and service learning, students in the cohort gain significant skills in speaking, writing, and critical thinking while preparing for successful careers and future lives engaged in servant leadership.
