Honors Programs

Community and Global Health (CGH) Honors Program

The Community and Global Health (CGH) Honors Program provides a four-year, curricular foundation for service learning at Stritch. For students who plan to incorporate global health into their career, the program supports field experience and scholarly investigation. The CGH Honors Program builds on the success of Stritch's Ignatian Service Immersion Program and expands public health programming on the Health Sciences Campus through the Parkinson School for Health Science and Public Health.

Bioethics & Professionalism Honors Program

Drawing on its Jesuit and Catholic heritage, Stritch encourages the development of the character and intellect of its students and has a culture of excellence in professionalism. Many students are active in a self-directed curriculum related to bioethics, health policy, service, leadership, and professionalism. The Bioethics & Professionalism Honors Program provides a context in which students develop this self-directed curriculum into a scholarly capstone project with the help of a faculty advisor.

Research Honors Program

The Research Honors Program recognizes Stritch students who have completed a structured research curriculum and celebrates their research achievements. MD degree candidates who complete a program of advanced education and research experience will be recognized with an MD and completion of the Research Honors Program.
