Pacific's Honors Program The Honors program includes two Honors Mentor Seminars, an Honors Senior Project, and a Honors general education course. Two honors residence halls, John Ballantyne House and Carter House, enable selected honors program members to live together. Some students see the honors activities as an Honors Community.

Pacific Seminars  As the distinctive aspect of Pacific's general education program, the three Pacific Seminars focus on the question, "What is a Good Society?" These discussion-oriented, writing intensive seminars serve as a microcosm of our democratic republic for the discussion of vital personal, social, political and global issues. Pacific Seminars I and II are taken in the first year, and Pacific Seminar III is taken in the senior year, functioning as one of the culminating experiences at Pacific.
