Colby-Sawyer's Wesson Honors Program creates academic, cultural and social opportunities for highly motivated and capable students. Acceptance into the Honors Program is based on demonstrated academic motivation and a minimum high school GPA of 3.5 and 1150 SAT. Continued membership is based on the member remaining on the Dean's List. To help students reach their potential as honors scholars, the program aims to:

  • Provide access to the highest quality academic learning experiences

  • Identify and recognize outstanding intellectual inquiry

  • Develop each student's leadership in the immediate and extended community

  • Foster and create intellectual exchange between students, faculty and students, and the college community as a whole
