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.”

Integrity
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.
Adventure Zone

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.
