Welcome

Many thanks for your directed interest in Carroll College.  I would like to invite you, and indeed challenge you, to make the next brilliant decision: joining Carroll's Honors Scholars Program.

Our program is challenging, but I assure you the time invested is worth it.  Participation in the Honors Scholars Program enhances your intellectual skills in whatever academic discipline you select, aids your personal aesthetic development within arts and letters, and fosters your growth toward increased social commitment to your community, your region, and the globe.

The sum of your Honors curriculum at Carroll provides a broad intellectual foundation, fostering an appreciation for a lifetime of learning.  Together, through the exploration of grand ideas that run through a "great books" reading collection, we continue the tradition of discourse, searching for truth via a joint process in which students and faculty learn from and with each other.

If you are as excited as I am by the path of interactive learning in a challenging atmosphere, partnering with eclectic mentors, I urge you to apply to the Honors Scholars Program.

Yours in the search,

Murphy Fox
