Honors That Fit Your Major
Since 1967, Valparaiso University’s honors college, Christ College, has been drawing in honors students who see the world through anything-is-possible eyes. One of the first honors colleges established in the United States, Christ College is comprised of forward thinkers like you who’ve demonstrated superior academic achievement and extracurricular involvement in high school.
“Curiosity is our common ground.” – Phillip Bolton ’23, English
CC + Professional Colleges
Christ College is designed to work with any major—even nursing, engineering, and business.
Nursing students benefit from a flexible, interdisciplinary approach.
Engineering students gain broader insight into real-world challenges.
Business students graduate as confident, well-rounded communicators.
Through Christ College’s unique honors curriculum, students learn to think critically across disciplines and approach problems from multiple perspectives.
“I love biology, chemistry, and health sciences, but those classes tend to be designed for the individual, involving memorizing facts and applying concepts for specific applications. Christ College classes are about being human and part of a group — the community I found in Christ College is unlike any other. I created amazing friendships within my cohort and was guaranteed a thought-provoking conversation each week. Even though it was sometimes challenging to balance both the PA program and Christ College, I would do it all over again.”
– Anna Speckhard ’24, ’26 MSPA
