The Penn State Worthington Scranton Campus Honors Program is a certificate-granting program. Certificates are awarded annually at the Commonwealth College campuses. If students qualify, they may also pursue a special honors degree as Schreyer Scholars. The program provides a means for motivated students to enrich their general education and to deepen their specialized preparation for graduate study or a profession. Honors options makes it possible for a student to develop an honors project in any University course.
Independent honors research allows students to generate their own study plan for a course.
In addition, the program sponsors a number of extracurricular honors events that add depth to the college experience. In the past, students have traveled to Canada, Washington D.C. and Boston. They have had opportunities to have dinner and meet individually with renowned campus guests such as Judy Mann, Robert Ressler, Jesse Jackson, Jr. and Adrian Cronauer of Good Morning Vietnam fame. They have also given their time and talents to service in the community. Members must complete a minimum number of honors courses each year.
