About Houghton Honors
Houghton College Honors Programs introduce students to challenging, interdisciplinary, experiential learning situations unlike anything they’ve encountered before. Our programs go beyond intensive classroom discussions and require learners to immerse themselves in complex questions.
The three honors programs provide formative learning experiences that establish a framework of study and service empowering our students to impact the world long after leaving Houghton College. Our honors alumni have pursued master’s and doctoral degrees at institutions including Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Cornell, University of Chicago and Indiana University in fields such as neuroscience, molecular biology, law, music and theology. Other alumni have immediately taken their education around the world to impact others where they have taught in West Africa, performed linguistic surveys in Afghanistan, and joined urban development projects in Buffalo, N.Y.
