Honors Program
While the primary benefit of participation in the Honors Program is the ability to enroll in advanced courses with other honors students and the preparation that these courses provide for intensive senior-level independent study, students in the program are also eligible for special housing as upperclassmen and the Honors Program sponsors special programming and activities for honors students. For example, in the spring, the Program sponsored a trip to Chicago for a tour devoted to museums and galleries and a study of architecture.
Enrollment in the program is by invitation. All incoming students who have been designated President's Scholars or who are ranked in the top ten percent of their high school class and have a composite ACT score of 25 or greater (or SAT score of 1010 or greater) are invited to participate. In addition, enrolled students who have completed 24 quarter hours at Otterbein with a 3.5 GPA or higher may join the program.
