Great Books Honors Program

Love to learn through reading and discussion? The Honors Program replaces general education classes with a great-books curriculum that your cohort will discuss in a Socratic seminar style. Students who find joy in wrestling with life’s deeper questions will thrive in this supportive and challenging environment.

We hold tightly the values of respectful conversation, humility, and open-mindedness, and we seek to create students who carry those values to their lives after graduation.

My time at George Fox has certainly exceeded any expectations that I had for a college experience. Our program emphasizes using nursing to be Christ-like influencers on our patients, which has greatly affected my view of nursing and the impact that it can have on the people we care for.
