Valparaiso University’s honors college—Christ College—is a place where talented and motivated learners in every field of study find personal attention and inspiration within a vibrant academic community. Christ College offers an honors environment where faith and learning are cherished, where interdisciplinary education fosters independent critical thinking, and where virtues as charity, humility, and courage are nurtured. I invite you to browse the Christ College (“CC”) website and explore CC’s stimulating curriculum, diverse student profiles, and dynamic co-curricular opportunities. Welcome!

Mel Piehl, Dean of Christ College

Many opportunities exist for students interested in pursuing research or prestigious scholarship and fellowship opportunities.

Professor Mark Schwehn is a scholar, an educational leader, a former CC dean, and a speaker in wide demand across the country. But when it comes to his essential vocation, there is no doubt what comes first and foremost:  teaching.

Christ College alumni—who number nearly 2,000—are an important part of the College’s larger community. Christ College maintains a range of opportunities designed to keep alumni informed about and involved in CC.
