Postgraduate Certificate in Honors Program

The Honors Program at Eureka College is designed to enrol, reward, and prepare academically gifted students, encouraging them toward intellectual initiative and independence. Students are selected for their outstanding academic achievements and monitored throughout strategic four-year matriculation that will prepare them to pursue advanced degrees in graduate or professional programs and assume leadership roles in their professions and society.

The Honors Program prepares you for your professional pursuits and dreams through engaging and innovative courses, participation in professional and academic conferences, specialized career advising and post-graduate preparation, and a host of stimulating and engaging cultural events.

Your honors advisor can help you:

Connect to organizations and leaders in the issues you care most about;

Design meaningful projects that use your academic skills and interests to address issues in the community;

Find fellowships, internships, and study abroad opportunities for public service and social change;

We'll also challenge you to think more deeply about making lasting, ethical, social change.

First-year students are accepted into the Honors Program based upon their excellent high school record. Transfer students who have completed Honors Programs at an Illinois community college can transfer directly into Eureka College's Honors Program.

Other students may qualify by achieving a 3.5 GPA and completing an interview with the Honors Program Director.
