The man who has been educated in a subject
is a good judge of that subject, but the man
who has received an all-round education is a
good judge in general.
Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics

The Honors College curriculum is a two-year program building on Palm Beach State College institutional commitment to general education instruction. Students in the Honors College are expected to explore intellectual options and reject narrowly defined paths of knowledge. Following the Aristotelian ideal, it is the goal of the Honors College to produce individuals whose capacity for judgment can broach broad questions of human existence, of what it means to live in a millennial age, of the limits (and limitlessness) of our scientific reach, of the individual’s responsibility in a global community. In short, it is the goal of the Honors College to produce individuals of good judgment.
