Thank you for your interest in the Honors College at LeTourneau University
The Honors College at LeTourneau University seeks to provide enriched educational experiences. Through offering experiences that are intellectual, formational, and practical, the Honors College seeks to form students in understanding their call or vocation, growing in character and wisdom, and seeking the good of their community. The Honors College program offers unique classroom experiences and curriculum, intentional communal living in the Honors Dorm, and additional educational and social experiences. It is a place to be further formed into the image of God.
Whether it is in the classroom, through a service learning project, on a study abroad trip, or participating in a colloquium, Honors College students are dedicated to investigating what it means to be called together to this place as a Christian community of learning that exists for the sake of neighbors, both near and far. Intellectual, formational, and practical, the Honors College is motivated by the commitment to seek creative and faithful ways to participate in the Triune God’s reconciling work in the world. Our Honors College curriculum is designed to achieve the following outcomes:

3. Community.
