Welcome to the Pennoni Honors College at Drexel University.

Since the founding of the Honors Program at Drexel in 1991, Honors has been a vital presence on campus, developing into a self-standing College in 2002. In 2020, we opened Bentley Hall, a student residence and a living-learning community where students, faculty, and staff can come together across disciplines to enrich each other through programming and educational opportunities.

We thank Gregory and Caroline Bentley, the Pennoni Advisory Board, and Drexel alumni for making this building and its programming possible. We also acknowledge our benefactor, Drexel alumnus and former interim President C.R. "Chuck" Pennoni, for helping make Honors an unparalleled site of innovation, creativity, and intellectual exchange.

The College sponsors initiatives that serve all Drexel students interested in pursuing excellence. Our Honors Program provides a unique opportunity to explore diverse topics and perspectives while meeting faculty and students outside of their majors and academic concentrations. Our Custom-Designed Major empowers highly motivated students to individualized courses of study not available through other majors, while our Interdisciplinary Problem Solving Minor helps students integrate information, methods of inquiry, research skills, and experiential learning from across multiple fields of knowledge.

We serve as the home for undergraduate student research opportunities, engaging students in the process of intellectual and self-discovery through collaborative research with faculty, fellowships advising, and enrichment programming. These diverse offerings expose our students to a full spectrum of experiential learning, empowering them to make informed choices and motivating them to turn passions into opportunities.

The Pennoni Honors College has a range and depth of offerings unique among Honors Colleges in the country. Involvement with the College helps students become the best they can be: broadly educated, socially engaged, and culturally and intellectually fulfilled.
