Curiosity makes Tigers stronger, more compassionate and well-rounded.
The Doane Honors program is a home for curious minds. A place where talented students learn, discuss and interact with one another.

“A strength of the honors program is the relationships you build with your professors and peers who may not have the same major as you, but are striving for greater things.”
Highly Selective Program
Our highly selective program accepts 20 applicants each year. Students of all majors are welcome to apply in the spring before or during their first year. This interdisciplinary aspect enriches everyone’s experiences and encourages critical thinking and creativity.
What Perks Will You Receive?
$1,000/semester toward tuition
Supplemental study abroad money
Early registration for classes
Participation in exclusive courses designed by faculty
Students in the program must maintain a 3.5 GPA. They hold each other accountable and rely on their strong moral principles to achieve this goal.
Intellectual curiosity
While academics are a foundation of our program, a student’s eagerness to learn is more valuable. Students take honors courses outside their major.
Cross-cultural engagement
We require a study abroad experience — and offer supplemental money to do so. We believe traveling outside our boxes positively impacts worldviews and boosts confidence.
Service
Students volunteer to exercise empathy and make a difference in their own backyard. Many students help with English Language Learners (ELL) and Adventure Zone, a summer camp for local and Japanese middle school students hosted at Doane.
