Advantages of Honors College

We are highly dedicated undergraduate scientists, artists, educators and scholars who are actively engaged in research, discovery, and the quest for knowledge.

The Honors College is a community that puts experiential learning over siloed thinking, branching out into a variety of campus and professional avenues to absorb, discuss and reflect.

A Close-Knit Community

The Honors community is closely integrated because students take some of the same classes, share the same common spaces, and attend Honors cultural events together.

Cultural Experiences and Events

With New York City a short train ride away, Honors students have long taken advantage of the available museums, theaters and concert halls. On Adelphi’s campus, Honors students enjoy, support and participate in live and screened opera and theater events as well as performances like the Jazz Ensemble and Best of Broadway.
