\nWelcome to Marymount University’s Honors Program!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Honors Program at Marymount engages a diverse, intellectually curious community of students and represents all majors on campus. The rigorous 21-credit program (or 18 credits for those entering with 30+ college credits) was established in 2003 to help cultivate students\u2019 research, communication, and critical thinking skills<\/strong><\/span>. Students fulfill their program requirements through Honors sections of liberal arts core courses, individualized one-on-one research tutorials with faculty, or graduate courses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have an active Honors community on campus<\/strong>, with guest lectures, film screenings, and professional development workshops. We also host bi-weekly socials and coffee hours in our exclusive Honors student lounge<\/strong>. Our Honors Living Learning Community<\/strong> allows students to live with like-minded peers in apartment-style dormitories, down the hall from our lounge. And our prime location, just 5 metro stops from D.C.<\/strong>, makes it easy for Honors faculty and staff to lead field trips into D.C. and provide various community-based service opportunities.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re excited to announce a prestigious opportunity<\/b> for select prospective Honors students!<\/strong> For first-year students joining us in the fall 2025 semester, Marymount University will award 15 competitive scholarships<\/b> of $2,000 per year<\/b>\u2014on top of other merit-based awards\u2014totaling $8,000 over four years for each student selected!<\/b> Thanks to the generosity of a donor, Terry Thompson<\/a>, this scholarship recognizes exceptional students who demonstrate academic excellence and intellectual curiosity.<\/p>\n

We are proud to have Honors students who received prestigious Fulbright scholarships, had been named Newman Civic Fellows, were awarded Phi Kappa Phi Scholarships, and received leadership opportunities through AmeriCorps.<\/p>\n

If you are a prospective high school, transfer, or a current Marymount student looking to join a supportive intellectual community, I encourage you to learn more about our Honors Program by watching the video below and exploring the tabs to the left.<\/p>\n
