What is the Scholar in the World?
The Honors Program Scholar in the World at Dominican University of California is a distinctive and enriched General Education curriculum. Honors students enroll in Honors seminars spread out over four years that fulfill specific General Education requirements and culminate in an Honors senior thesis in the discipline of the major. The program promotes holistic development of scholars with global perspectives. It emphasizes interdisciplinary seminars, colloquia, and independent study. Through these courses and co-curricular activities students are educated to be creative learners, critical thinkers, writers, and responsible citizens of the world. The program’s foundations rest on the four ideals of Dominican education: study, service, community, and reflection. Honors seminars involve students in active learning, challenging them to make the Four Ideals of Dominican’s Scholar in the World their own.
