The Honors Program at SJC provides a challenging learning experience for academically talented students. Entering freshmen who have a 90% high school average and 1100 combined SAT scores are invited to apply.

Focusing on the liberal arts, the program includes special honors courses that bring the students together as a group. This begins in the first semester when we have a special course for Honors Program freshmen. Additional special honors courses are offered in later semesters. More information.

Honors Program -

The Long Island campus of St. Joseph’s College offers eligible students the opportunity to participate in a three-semester Honors Program as part of their bachelor’s degree. The intent of the program is to provide an enriched and rigorous academic experience, meeting the special needs of those students who have demonstrated extraordinary academic accomplishment and ability and who are committed to achieving their full potential. St. Joseph’s College recognizes that some students have additional needs due to their superior achievements and intense desire for knowledge.

The Honors Program offers these gifted academic students a community within our larger community. While these students do share some common classes within the Honors Program, they also take courses outside the Honors Program, based on their personal choices, each semester. This offers them the perfect balance of academic challenge, community and flexibility to explore new areas and meet new people. More information.
