A Word from Our Dean

From the Dean

The John Wesley Honors College (JWHC) is an intentional liberal learning community devoted to the creative pursuit of academic excellence, spiritual growth and social holiness.

Because we are committed to helping students thrive by fulfilling their highest intellectual and spiritual potential, the JWHC provides unique inquiry-based learning experiences, facilitates engaging faculty-student mentoring relationships, and supports students in collaborative undergraduate research. Together, our students and faculty seek to renew their minds and engage God's world. The JWHC also strives to contribute to national dialogues on collegiate honors education and undergraduate research.

Students in the John Wesley Honors College immerse themselves in the spiritually enriching community and practices of a vibrant Christ-centered collegiate campus. Participation in the JWHC equips such students to integrate these pursuits into a deep and tangible Christian vision of human flourishing; one that helps them to make sense of their gifts and passions in light of God’s call upon their lives and inspires them to pursue their careers as meaningful expressions of His truth, goodness, and beauty.
