Mission
The mission of the Springfield College Honors Program is to cultivate and nourish a diverse, inclusive community of highly-motivated academic leaders who ask difficult questions, respect different approaches and points of view, and contribute to the advancement of knowledge and understanding. Through experiences both in and out of the classroom, the Honors Program prepares graduates to approach life with curiosity and an openness to inquiry, and to inspire these qualities in others. |

...you are up to a challenge. You don’t take the easy route, and you take responsibility for your learning.
...you are excited. You want to be part of a close community of faculty and scholars, and you’re drawn to the life of the mind.
