Slippery Rock University's Honors Program offers unique liberal studies education opportunities to highly motivated and academically talented students.  Students who want to enrich their educational experience, take advantage of leadership opportunities, and travel both nationally and internationally, should consider enrolling.  For further information see the web site at Honors Program.

The Honors Program has a number of objectives: to foster critical thinking and communication skills, to develop leadership skills, and to create opportunities for students to assume responsibility for learning, both on and off campus.  Courses are offered in diverse disciplines, from mathematics to English to environmental geosciences, and most fulfill the Liberal Studies requirements.  To qualify for participation, incoming first year students need an SAT score of 1100 or higher, or an ACT of 25 or higher, or be in the top ten percent of their high school graduating class.  But because academic excellence and motivation cannot always be measured by standardized test scores or GPAs alone, if you are interested in learning more about the program and want to be considered as a member, contact Dr. Steven Strain, Honors Program Director, at (724)738-2177 or email him at honorsprogram@sru.edu.
