Explore. Experience. Engage.
The Emory & Henry Honors Program inducted its first class of 16 students in Fall 2009, and our first cohort graduated with the college’s first Honors Diplomas in May 2013. Over the past twelve years of the Emory & Henry College Honors Program, we have grown to include around 75 current Honors Program Scholars and over 150 Honors Program Alumni who have gone on to graduate schools or careers all over the country (See a list of graduate schools on our “Alumni” page of Stories). Our Honors Program is intentionally open to students with a wide range of intellectual interests and boasts majors from every undergraduate department at the college.

“In 2019 I started working towards a Ph.D. in Acoustic Engineering at Pennsylvania Sate University. I definitely wouldn’t be here without the Honors Program. Honors contracts allowed me to apply material learned in my courses towards acoustical concepts and projects. Moreover, it was the Honors Thesis that really helped me to decide what I wanted to do in life.”
—Sean Collier, Class of 2018
