We practice a different kind of honors education.
Torrey Honors College is Biola University's undergraduate honors program. An alternate path for fulfilling nearly all of Biola’s general education requirements, Torrey Honors brings together curious, sharp thinkers from all majors and backgrounds to pursue the Good, True and Beautiful. It’s an innovative classical honors program with Christ at the center.
Education isn’t just about shaping what you think. It should change who you are and how you live. Torrey Honors College classes will empower and transform you, not just pressure you to compete. Collaborate with your peers to uncover timeless truths. Discover the meaning of loving God with your whole mind and heart — becoming more compassionate, disciplined and joyful in the process.

Here’s who we’re looking for
Torrey Honors is distinct from other honors programs. Though Torrey Honors students often have outstanding GPAs or test scores, we believe your ability to learn can’t be reduced to a number. Students who thrive within our community are:
Curious

Our students wonder about the world. They ask questions, test ideas, and enjoy discovering connections between different disciplines. Put simply: they love learning.
Hard-working

We’ll be upfront: Torrey Honors is a world-class, rigorous academic program. To succeed here, you need to be willing to give your all.
Growing

Justice. Grace. Humility. We’re committed to understanding and practicing these together, living lives increasingly conformed to the image of Christ.
Courageous

We require you to ask weighty questions and wrestle with weightier realities. You’ll need to be brave — but you won’t have to journey alone.
Persistent

You’ll need the grit to keep going when hard questions don’t have easy answers. We promise the reward is worth the effort.
If that’s you, apply today.
