Honors at Georgetown College

There are three basic tracks within the Georgetown College Honors Program: Oxford Honors, Science Honors, and Independent Honors. The Georgetown College Honors Program strives to encourage the intellectual growth of the College community by giving highly motivated students at all levels the opportunity to pursue challenging and stimulating academic and cultural experiences.  All Honors Programs require an application and an interview.  Please see the Programs of Distinction page for more information on due dates. While students are encouraged to apply for any of these three honors tracks, they can only receive the scholarship and funding for one of the three tracks.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING

Body: 
Having that relationship with a professor makes it so much easier to ask for a recommendation letter that can detail what you’re capable of. …They can say, ‘I’ve worked with this person one-on-one and I’ve seen what kind of research they can do and how they think.’”

WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING

Body: 
Dr. Burch used to encourage us by saying, ‘The day you finish your honors thesis will be a truly happy day.’ It was! My thesis research on the environmental impact of the Rio Olympics helped me to choose my graduate program and land an internship working for the Sports Environmental Alliance in Australia.
