Join us in the pursuit of academic excellence!

The Honors Program at La Sierra offers a unique general education pathway, with interrelated courses that emphasize thoughtful discussions and engaging projects.   A small, close-knit community, each honors cohort numbers about 20 students, each of whom develop skills and knowledge in the arts, sciences, religion, and other areas. Honors students take part in research and community-involvement projects; they have the opportunity to go on an international trip together at the end of their sophomore year.

Honors is a community of scholars, centered around the program’s personal dorm, South Hall—a home where students study, socialize, and live.
