Undergraduate Honors Program
Welcome
The Honors Program is designed to provide greater challenge and satisfaction to our best students. Students in approximately the top ten percent of the entering class are invited to participate in this four-year program. Student participants can select one or two courses each semester, first in the General Education curriculum and later in their major, that offer an extra intellectual challenge in an intimate, seminar atmosphere. Honors students benefit greatly from getting to know each other and their honors professors more closely than is possible in a larger class. Approximately 20 upperclassmen in the program serve as mentors to honors freshmen.
In addition to enrolling in the honors courses, students in the program participate in (and help plan) special co-curricular activities, such as films, distinguished speakers, student colloquia, field trips to innovative companies and to the theaters, concert halls, and museums for which Boston is internationally famous. The co-curricular activities are intended to deepen academic experience and to foster a sense of community and fellowship.
We are convinced that this program makes a Bentley education even more stimulating and rewarding for our best students. Elsewhere on this site, you will find frequently asked questions and answers about the program, courses planned for the current semester, and instructor profiles.
