Honors Program"The Honors Program at Arcadia University enriched my learning experience through
various courses, cultural events, and traveling opportunities. The professors in
the program have designed an atmosphere that teaches a student to think outside of
the box.”
“The Honors Program is designed to broaden students’ horizons and to challenge them with a variety of courses they might never get to take as part of their majors or minors while introducing them to
a variety of students from all academic disciplines.”
-Bill Meiers, Honors Program Co-Director
