Join a Community of Scholars at SLU
The Saint Louis University Honors Program offers the perfect combination of enriched academic opportunities with reflective experiential learning to deepen your education at SLU and help you achieve the goals you set for yourself.
Designed to complement any major, the Honors Program curriculum provides the flexibility you need to tailor your experience to your areas of study, while offering a solid foundation to ensure you find purpose and fulfillment in your education.
We wholeheartedly ascribe to the Jesuit maxim of magis, or more, not because we expect you to do more, but because we believe you want to become more. Our students explore the values of holistic learning, academic innovation, Ignatian reflection and global citizenship.
