The mission of the ETBU Honors Program is to provide a tight-knit community of scholars in pursuit of the Christian intellectual life through the pairing of academic rigor with informed reflection for thoughtful eng年龄ment with the world. We accomplish our mission with a two-phase academic program that provides students with a minor complementary to any major field of study offered at the university. During the first and second years, 继承阶段, students are immersed in a rigorous study of Western intellectual thought, framed by the pursuit of the Christian intellectual life, from antiquity to the present. Students read important texts, attend seminars to gain helpful background information about the texts, and participate in focused, Socratic dialogue facilitated by faculty members. During their third and fourth years, 投资阶段, students embark on an in-depth research project on a topic of their choosing, under the supervision of a faculty member in their major. Students propose their research plan and defend their finished project to a committee of three faculty members. Students who successfully complete both phases of the honors program graduate "With Honors and Distinction," receiving a stole at 毕业典礼 from the faculty member that supervised their project.
