Required Honors Courses

Honors students can major in any Stockton undergraduate school and major. Their Honors courses fulfill part of their General Studies requirement, ensuring that students experience the breadth of the liberal arts as a part of their college education. The courses feature innovative teaching from dedicated professors from a range of disciplines. They are only open to Honors students, and they are designed to stimulate student discussion, critical thinking, and creative expression in the arts, humanities, and sciences.

By successfully completing the required Honors courses, students are also completing many General Studies ("G") courses required for graduation.

Through involvement in the Honors Program, I have had access to many great resources and have even formed many great friendships. I have been given access to helpful advice, assistance from faculty members, unique and rewarding courses, dedicated staff members, Honors mentors, the Honors Center, and so much more.

The Honors Program offers me so many more opportunities academically and socially. Through the program I am able to participate in exciting service projects that benefit my community. The Honors Program gives me the chance to take so many interesting classes with extremely intelligent professors. Finally, the Honors Program has introduced me to some of the greatest people I will ever meet.

Kaitlyn D, Language and Cultural Studies major

As a nursing major, college is not necessarily the easiest thing to deal with, especially when you are trying to balance school, college, and friends. But the Honors Program has helped me survive. It helped me adjust to the college life, manage my studies, meet life-long friends, and get involved in my community. There may be extra classes, but they are all very fun, the professors are fantastic, and I love being able to incorporate them into my schedule.

Erin S, Nursing major

The Honors Program is a great way to connect with like-minded peers. It allows students to thrive in an environment that encourages excellence and community involvement. Joining the Honors Program helps students to become all that they can be. It challenges students to think outside the box and gives students the knowledge and the know how to really make a difference in the world.
