The John Duns Scotus Honors Program

Challenge Yourself, Inspire Others

Not to be confused with being on the Dean’s List or graduating “with honors,” the Honors Program is for students who want to take their Saint Francis experience to the ultimate level. Honors students work independently and strive for academic excellence.

The Honors program curriculum includes 11 credit hours from the following courses:

Honors students wear the Honors cord at commencement, and the accomplishment is noted on their transcripts. Admission to the Honors program is competitive.
