Global Honors Scholars

Preparing Thoughtful Christian Leaders for Life-long Global Learning and Engagement

The Global Honors Scholars program prepares you to engage and participate in the global context as a creative, thoughtful Christian leader through academic and experiential learning within a cohort. The program cultivates a life-orienting commitment to global engagement, Christian maturity, and creative contribution to God’s kingdom in your life and vocation.

Over the course of your four years at Gordon, you will attend the Global Honors retreat, take honors courses and discussion-based seminars, participate in an international experience and internship, engage in additional cohort and Gordon Honors programming, and complete a capstone project.

Student Spotlight

“With the Global Honors Program, I knew that I would get the faith and academic integration, and that was a big thing for me, to see that the Christian faith actually mattered in the classroom. I had taken a gap year after high school doing ministry, and I wrestled with the question of why should I pursue higher education when I was already making a difference in ministry? I learned in my Global Honors Classes that if I hadn’t come here and I didn’t know the things that I’ve learned, I would be less equipped to do ministry. That was personally formative, so I now feel more ready to engage with the world. Now I know that my education is purposeful, and a lot of that came from the honors program.”
