In order to achieve their potential and become leaders in society, students must speak and write effectively and reason accurately. Courses in the Honors College will prepare students to recognize and express differences in quality between the grand and the mundane, and the genuine and the specious.
| Thoughts from Previous Students
"I chose Adelphi for its superb Honors Program which is now the Honors College, and for the combined biology major and the seven-year program with the Tufts School of Dentistry. The added benefit of an Adelphi education, which I didn't know beforehand, has been the interdisciplinary Honors seminars. Those seminars for you to learn to think and analyze critically. As a result, I feel that at Adelphi, I have gotten the best of both worlds -- a firm background in the liberal arts and solid training in my specialized area of scientific study."
Peter Vellis, Class of 1996.
Peter went on to study dentistry at Columbia University and did very well. |
