John H. Martinson Honors College

The John H. Martinson Honors College is the home of the Thomas N. Bantivoglio Honors Concentration. Open to academically-motivated students of every major on the Glassboro campus, the Martinson Honors College fosters a diverse community of citizen scholars by cultivating curiosity both in and outside the classroom. The Honors’ undergraduate experience is personified by our motto, “think, thrive, share.” We develop socially and civic minded leaders active in participation and service within and beyond Honors, while our innovative curricula alongside extra-curricular activities foster a deeper understanding of students’ majors as well as an appreciation of other academic perspectives, cultures, and the arts. Honors supports a holistic understanding of all students that supports and encourages wellness as well as a deeper engagement with the Rowan undergraduate experience.

Our program features active learning opportunities, including: 

• Unique and interdisciplinary class offerings
• Enhanced and advanced discipline-specific class offerings
• Educational extracurricular activities, including joint student-faculty research, field trips and invited speakers
• Extended academic advising and peer mentoring
