Honor programs

Maple Scholars

A summer research program for Goshen College students, this program originated in the natural sciences, but now includes other departments as well.  Maple Scholars work closely with an individual professor on a research or creative project chosen by the professor.  Intergration is provided by Friday morning colloquia where students discuss their research activities, by field trips and by a final banquet.  Research begun as a Maple Scholar usually continues into the academic year and may proceed to a publication or an undergraduate thesis.  Participants in the summer program receive free campus housing and a stipend.
