Antonian Honors
Antonian Honors Program - College for Women - Baccalaureate Program
The Antonian Scholars Honors Program offers students of superior ability and motivation an opportunity to study and work with one another and with faculty mentors in a specially designed program of liberal arts studies. To graduate as an Antonian Scholar, a baccalaureate student enrolled in the College for Women completes four interdisciplinary honors seminars (or a combination of at least two seminars and at most two pre-approved equivalents) and an independently researched senior honors project guided by a faculty advisor. They also maintain a 3.5 overall grade point average. The Antonian Honors Program's primary goal is to give engaged students diverse opportunities to build intellectually stimulating and supportive relationships with peers and faculty. In addition to the academic program, Honors students enjoy social and cultural activities, many also choose to assume roles in campus leadership.
Among the privileges of membership are inter-disciplinary honors sections of classes that count toward the liberal arts core requirements, honors sections of the Reflective Woman and Global Search for Justice, priority registration, access to the Honors Hub private meeting and study area in Coeur de Catherine and the opportunity to reside with other Antonian Honors students on campus. At commencement, every Antonian Scholar who completes the program is publicly recognized and given a special diploma. Senior projects can also be published digitally in Saint Catherine University's digital repository, should the student wish it.
First-year students and sophomores enrolled in the baccalaureate program in the College for Women who have achieved a 3.5 cumulative grade point average are eligible. Other applicants submit two faculty recommendations and an application form, including a short personal essay. A faculty committee charged with oversight of the Antonian Scholars determines membership in the program. For further information, contact the Honors Program Director.
Students must maintain an overall 3.5 GPA.
