The Honors
Program at Briar
Cliff
is not about
getting
high-achieving
students to do
more work, read
more books,
write more
papers, and take
more courses.
It
is about
enhancing the
educational
experience of
exceptional
students through
community-building
activities and
challenging and
exciting
academic
programming.
We emphasize the
quality of the
experience over
the quantity of
the workload.
We create an
Honors Program community
on campus through
honors-only courses and
social activities like
barbeques, going to the
theatre, and trivia
contests. We also
place great importance
on our role as leaders
in the larger community
and complete service
projects on campus and
around Siouxland.
Honors students
take at least six
honors-only courses
while at Briar Cliff in
which professors use
innovative teaching
strategies that allow
the students to explore
the course subject in
great detail. Many
of the honors-only
courses fulfill general
education requirements,
and because they tend to
be small, the courses
allow for very
personalized attention
from BCU faculty.
Honors students also
have the option of
participating in
online/hybrid summer
courses and unique
travel experiences.
I invite you to
read through the
material on our website
to learn more about our
Honors Program.
Ultimately, I hope that
you will choose to
accept the challenge and
become a member of the
Honors Program community
at Briar Cliff.
Peace,
Paul
Olson, Ph.D.
