HONORS INFORMATION FOR:
East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania
| HONORS CONTACT: | Dr. Kenneth Mash Honors Director 200 Prospect Street East Stroudsburg, PA 18301 PHONE: 570/422-3273 FAX: 570/422-2851 E-MAIL: kmash@po-box.esu.edu Enrollment in the home campus is NOT required. A GPA of 3.3 is also required. |
| ABOUT THE PROGRAM: | East Stroudsburg University's Honors Program invites talented students to fully participate in, "The Life of the Mind." Students in the program have the opportunity to meaningfully engage with their professors, to encounter great works and words, and to build community with other dedicated students in order to make the most of what college can offer. Founded in 1988, the Honors Program aims to provide experiences similar to the Liberal Arts colleges, both in the classroom and in the wider campus culture. Through small classes with great teachers, group conversations with visiting speakers, free admission to campus performances, excursions to cultural events in New York City and Philadelphia, honors students are directed into the full college enterprise. Each ESU honors student will enroll in a special first-semester class, "An Honors Introduction to Liberal Arts." The class will address the nature and value of the Humanities, the skills and values for successful scholarship, and steps to effective research. In subsequent semesters, your 50 hours of General Education will include 15 hours (5 classes) of special Honors courses. These have limited enrollments of 20 honors students. The gifted teachers enlisted for these classes will be more interactive, interdisciplinary, and engaged in your written work. Honors students must maintain a GPA of 3.3 to remain in the program. In the junior year, you work with a professor from your major department on a three credit-hour independent study. This work culminates in an 'Honors Thesis' that is completed at the end of junior year. In the final year, honors students are encouraged to present and publish this thesis in undergraduate conferences and the ESU undergraduate research journal, Nous. |
