Lambda Epsilon Sigma

Stonehill’s campus-wide honor society, Lambda Epsilon Sigma, recognizes students from all areas of study. Students who have demonstrated a well-rounded thirst for knowledge are invited to apply.

Religious Studies, Theology & the Stonehill Honors Program

The Stonehill College Honors Program encourages and challenges students through a curriculum taught by the most gifted and demanding professors at the College.

In both the Cornerstone Program and the majors, religious studies and theology honor courses are designed to stimulate independent thought by combining rigorous academic standards and classroom discussions with relevant and stimulating extracurricular events.

Through an enhanced learning experience in smaller classes, the program aims to lead students into lasting habits of reflection and a life of the mind that includes a full and creative engagement with the world.

Students are encouraged to meet with the Department chair or with any member of the department to discuss these opportunities.
