Le Moyne College Academics

The Integral Honors Program is a unique educational opportunity for the exceptional student to prepare him/herself for life in today’s world. It encourages advanced learning and fosters critical thought and analysis of the human experience as students explore just what it means to be a human being in the 21 st century. The Program takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the difficult questions about who we are and where we are going. Coursework that is focused primarily within the humanities (and meets Core Curriculum requirements) explores the human experience in the context of history, and stresses the integration of ideas and events, the development of civilizations, and the connections and interrelationships that have molded our world. Integral Honors students make their own contribution to knowledge in their senior thesis research project, the culmination of their education in the Integral Honors Program. The goal of the program is to graduate students not only with the highest degree Le Moyne College offers but also with a love of learning and an exceptional foundation of understanding from which to continue a lifelong journey of exploration.

Students of all majors are invited to join the Integral Honors Program in the freshman (or sophomore) year. The courses are taught by a select team of faculty members from a variety of disciplines. Excellent teachers and scholars, they provide Honors students with a rich array of perspectives and experiences. Classes are small, which enables free exchange of ideas among peers and enhances student-professor relationships. The Honors House ( 546 Fayette Boulevard) provides a comfortable environment for teaching and learning, as well as a place for student-sponsored activities and events, including dinners, parties, lectures, and film festivals.
