Global Honors Program

The Global Honors Program incorporates scholarship, service, and spiritual formation – all components of the Roberts Wesleyan College mission statement – and uses a combination of academic work in the classroom, experiential learning, service learning, and independent scholarship.

Students will take the courses listed below in their freshmen and sophomore years. At the end of the sophomore year, they will participate in an on-location course in Brazil where they will apply concepts from the classroom.

Admission to Program

Admission to the Global Honors Program is by invitation. Accepted students meeting the following criteria are invited to complete an application:

• Evidence of strong academic performance in a college-preparatory program as indicated by SAT and ACT scores, high school courses, grade point average, class rank, etc.
• Demonstration of strong writing skills as evidenced in English scores and writing samples.

Students meeting these criteria will be invited to the Academic Scholarship Weekend.  Students attending this weekend will complete the application process for the Global Honors Program at the event.  Qualified students who are unable to attend this event will be invited to apply online.

Each Global Honors Program participant is required to pay a Program Fee of $250 per semester.
