Established in 1965, the EC Honors Program provides honors-level liberal arts education dedicated to self-formation and professional preparation.
The Elmhurst College Honors Program combines unique academic opportunities with cultural and social activities throughout a student's college career.
ECHO, the Elmhurst College Honors Organization, coordinates extra-curricular activities for Honors Students. Past activities have been Dinner Theater outings (dinner with fellow Honors members before attending a play at the Mill), Chicago Humanities Festival (travel to Chicago for a day and attend lectures), opera nights (at the Lyric), service projects, and Lunch in the Lounge (once a month, join friends for pizza).
