Current Purdue Students
The Purdue John Martinson Honors College is a residential college that seeks to educate the whole student and to bridge the gap between curricular and extracurricular learning. The John Martinson Honors College hopes to draw curious, motivated and dedicated students who want to be a part of a diverse community of scholars.
If you are interested in joining the John Martinson Honors College, you are encouraged to enroll in HONR courses. The only requirement to take these courses is a 3.0 GPA, so you do not need to be officially accepted as an Honors student to register. This can help you get a feel for the curriculum and make a decision on whether or not you would like to apply to join.
