If you are eligible for the University Honors Program, you will join a group of outstanding students who examine the most significant ideas of our common cultural heritage. The program fosters intellectual development through academic challenge. A structured sequence of colloquia and seminars helps you develop critical thinking abilities essential to a reflective, active and creative life.

The Honors Program is structured around team-taught Honors Colloquia and multidisciplinary Honors Seminars that address perennial human questions posed across global cultures. Students study the great texts of the past, with visual media, music and information technology also integrated into the curriculum. The program provides a coordinated liberal arts concentration for outstanding students of all schools and majors in the University. In addition to course work, the Honors Program provides opportunities for students to attend opera, theater, museums, concerts and other cultural events in the metropolitan area. Students in the Honors Program are offered the option of Academic Teaming in the residence halls, creating learning communities. Both students and faculty form a cohesive academic community that lasts throughout a student’s career at Seton Hall University, and beyond.
