“For Excellence is Not Often Gained Upon Easier Terms”
The best high school graduates are seeking college experiences that will both prepare them for their careers and continue to push them beyond what some think is possible. The Citadel Honors Program has been built to bring them together.
The Honors Program is The Citadel’s premier initiative to enable and support the highest-potential and most dedicated students in the nation. Scholarship assistance, smaller classes, one-on-one learning with professors and a peer community of passionate students significantly enhances The Citadel experience for those chosen.
Citadel Honors students are challenged to go beyond traditional college coursework. They are the students who embrace interdisciplinarity, taking classes which leverage their interests across majors and minors. They want opportunities to go deeper into topics which spark their curiosity and help prepare them for their career goals. And Citadel Honors students are given an even more active role in shaping their program of study, embracing opportunities to better understand and confront the controversial and the complex.
It’s not about more work – it’s about more meaningful work.
On behalf of the faculty of the Citadel and the current cadets of the Honors Program, we invite you to learn more about the program and to consider an application to join us.
