Honors Program
The York College Honors Program seeks to provide challenging and engaging experiences for academically motivated and accomplished students. The program offers coursework, special academic and career advising, and extracurricular enrichment activities to this small group of undergraduate students.
Students benefit from the attention the program gives to their academic strengths. The students will find that the community of scholars created by the Honors Program stimulates and supports their intellectual growth and interests. The program also provides recognition for their extra efforts.

The Honors Program supplements the student's regular academic program of study and is not a major itself. The courses are unique in that they move at a faster pace, help students to develop original research or projects, explore breadth and depth of subject matter, draw upon many fundamental skills, integrate theory and application, and challenge assumptions at above-average levels. Honors classes and faculty encourage independent learning, generate energy and enthusiasm, and empower students to make decisions about their own learning experiences.
In addition to specially designed courses, students will participate in extracurricular enrichment activities such as field trips to cultural events or historical sites, national professional conferences, book discussion groups, or informal discussions with distinguished guest lecturers. An additional fee is charged to offset expenses for special Honors Program courses and activities.
The Honors Program offers unique academic challenges and activities seeking to promote a well-rounded college experience. Honors students live and study in the general college community and participate in college activities such as sports programs, music programs, and leadership organizations.
