Pike Honors

Uniquely crafted cross-disciplinary scholarship, research, and application in a recognized area of study

The Kenneth L. Pike Honors Program invites exceptional students with a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher to design a unique academic program that creatively complements or extends Gordon College majors or minors in pursuit of their learning goal.

Pike Scholars can take advantage of diverse opportunities at Gordon, internationally or at other institutions in this country to enrich existing majors in unique ways. Scholars design a creative, rigorous program with a depth and breadth that would not ordinarily be available to them at Gordon.

Student Spotlight

“Coming to Gordon, I knew I had a variety of interests and decided that I would be a psychology and English double major. Learning about the Pike program and talking with many people involved in it was when I realized that was the best fit for me. The Pike program is designed to give you the specializations you had hoped for and if it ends up being, as in my case, a couple of different specializations, I now can say after college I can pursue multiple different things that I love.”
