The Marist Honors Program brings together talented students in Honors seminars that often coordinate with co-curricular activities such as field trips and lectures. The cultural enrichment exchange is a highlight of the Program. It encourages students to move beyond standard curricula and engage in a broader range of experiences consonant with their interests. Field trips expose students to the cultural life of New York City and other sites of interest, including natural areas, in the Northeast. Students have the opportunity of attending one field trip per semester under the supervision of one or more faculty members. (There may be field trips in particular honors courses not open to all honors students.) The Honors Lecture brings the students into direct contact with the experts in various fields of interest. Scheduled each semester, the Honors Lecture follows a more traditional academic format and provides a discussion forum in which everyone participates.
