Twentieth Anniversary of Honors at Houghton
Even after twenty years, Houghton’s approach to honors remains highly distinctive. We run a series of programs for students in their first year at Houghton, all co-taught, all synthesizing multiple disciplines, all very intense and all with a significant experiential component, whether that’s research or travel. Our idea is to take entering students with a lot of ability and curiosity and give them a radical developmental experience—an experience that sets challenges that are initially beyond them. The idea is that, as we help them to rise to these challenges, they become more than they were. They grow further into what God knows they can become.

Benjamin Lipscomb
Professor of Philosophy, Director of Honors

    Houghton College at large and the Honors Program specifically has had a wonderfully positive effect on my daughter and the beautiful young woman she has become. She has always had a soft spot for her fellow man but it has grown to global proportions with the introduction of the East Meets West program. Thank you to Houghton and each professor who has had such a profound impact on Katrina.
