Welcome to the Honors Program at Santa Clara University
Last updated April 16, 2008
Collaborating in the Catholic, Jesuit educational tradition, the University Honors Program fosters intellectual excellence, an appreciation of ethical context, and an awareness of the spiritual and religious dimensions of human existence. Santa Clara often calls these qualities "the three C's"--competence, conscience, and compassion.
"I would contend at all costs both in word and deed as far as I could that we will be better people, braver and less idle, if we believe that one must search for the things one does not know, rather than if we believe that it is not possible to find out what we do not know and that we must not look for it." - Socrates, Plato's Meno, 86b
