• W127936083 abstract "INTRODUCTION From the beginning of the Northwestern College Honors Program in 2002, we have operated with several underlying principles, three of which relate to our goal of being multidisciplinary. Based upon our recognition of multiple intelligences and our acknowledgment of scholarship in all academic disciplines, we have made it our goal that a single definition of either intelligence or giftedness should not suffice as a strategic design concept for the program or as a selection criterion for the who participate in it. In creating our program, the Faculty Honors Program Committee decided that our honors program would not include only traditional or discipline-specific pursuits but would incorporate elements that reflect and encourage excellence in a number of different ways and disciplines. We wanted one of the criteria for honors to be the expression of their giftedness in many categories, including music, art, mathematics, and science. The adoption of a multidisciplinary structure birthed a second objective in our honors program: to develop well-rounded scholars. The idea of developing Renaissance students appealed to us. We frequently tell prospective that, if they are accepted into the honors program, they are by definition interested in everything. Finally, we wanted the honors program to be a vehicle for associating, connecting, and integrating concepts and knowledge from a variety of disciplines. As an overriding focus, we strive through the multidisciplinary structure to help our see associations that connect one discipline to another. Once the are able to see the commonalities as well as the distinctions among disciplines, they are less likely to isolate themselves within their own particular majors. PRACTICES THAT PROMOTE MULTIDISCIPLINARY PRIORITIES While foundational program objectives are laudable, translating them into organizational commitments and operational practices is challenging. In response to this challenge, we developed the following practical approaches. MULTIDISCIPLINARY ADMISSIONS PROCEDURE Since Northwestern College grants a substantial scholarship to accepted into the honors program, we restrict the number of accepted students, so admission is highly competitive. We generally evaluate between seventy-five and ninety-five applicants for admission of just fifteen new students. Therefore, developing and executing a selection process that is fair to all applicants has been a top priority from the beginning of the honors program, and we have always affirmed that we need to include different types of scholars. Applicants submit short essays that should demonstrate character and depth of thought, but the writing prompts do not pertain to any particular discipline. We also require that applicants submit a longer paper about any subject of their choosing. In evaluating these writing samples, we are looking for a thesis supported by main ideas and relevant details, but we put no restrictions on the subject matter. This paper is generally one that the applicant has done for a class in high school. In addition to these written materials, applicants submit a sample of their achievement or ability that may come from almost any field of interest to them and that includes an explanation of the context of their submission. The work they choose to submit varies widely, but a common characteristic is their high degree of originality in content and form. Some include pictures of their artwork, photography, musical compositions, film productions, poetry, short stories, or creative prose pieces. other applicants have submitted research in biology, chemistry, or physics; projects in political science; or computations in mathematics. They have submitted speech performances, oral interpretation, drama performances, and vocal and instrumental musical performances as well as papers in literature and history. …" @default.
