Honors Program
The Honors Program at Peru State College is a college-wide academic program promoting
advanced study and scholarship for students with strong records of academic achievement.
The program provides its students with opportunities for in- depth study not generally
available in other courses through small class sizes, frequent interaction within
the program, a unique curriculum, and mentored scholarly and research opportunities.

Students who graduate from the Honors Program are recognized as such at graduation
