Since its founding in 1955, the Fordham College at Rose Hill Honors Program has provided students of exceptional academic talent and intellectual curiosity with the opportunity to pursue their core studies in greater depth, breadth and intensity. Drawn from every major, honors students routinely go on to attend the most respected graduate and professional schools and to excel in their chosen fields. What unites the members of the program is their active approach to learning and their desire to go beyond compartmentalized knowledge to an understanding of the whole. The heart of the program is a sequence of courses, replacing the traditional Core Curriculum, taken during the freshman and sophomore years. These courses work together to provide a comprehensive overview of the intellectual and social forces which have shaped the modern world. The capstone of the Honors curriculum is the senior thesis, an extended research project prepared under the individual guidance of a faculty mentor in one's major field. Because Honors courses usually take the form of small seminars of no more than fourteen students, enrollment in the program is necessarily limited to around twenty-five students each year. Members of the program are normally expected to maintain a grade average of 3.5. Successful completion of the program entitles the student to the designation in cursu honorum on the diploma and the transcript.
