- HoneyRock - Northwoods
Campus of Wheaton College
It is the mission of HoneyRock, the Northwoods Campus of Wheaton
College, to equip and empower students for disciple-making, leadership,
and Kingdom service. This is accomplished through integrating
excellence in academic programming with Christian camp experiences.
The theoretical principles and practical skills learned will be
applicable to a broad range of ministry and educational settings.
Individuals typically leave Honey Rock with an expanded view of
God, themselves, and their role in serving others. The educational
approach is interdisciplinary and distinguished by immediate application
of learning to real ministry and leadership experiences. Students
will engage in outdoor oriented activities that involve problem-solving
tasks, disciplined reflection and evaluation, and service.
Although the content of the programs varies, the learning outcomes
of students at the Northwoods Campus usually include the following:
increased mastery of content due to immediate application, enhancement
of critical thinking and problem-solving skills, increased confidence
and ability to perform in leadership roles, and a deepened relationship
with others and with God. Students experience these outcomes because
they are given responsibilities that challenge them.
Located 360 miles north of the Wheaton campus on 800 acres of
beautiful forests and a chain of 28 lakes, the Northwoods campus
has year-round academic programming and breakaway opportunities
for students. All programs are offered for undergraduate and graduate
credit.
- Wheaton College Science Station (Black
Hills, SD)
The Wheaton College Science Station offers the College's longest
running off-campus program on a park-like 50 acres in the Black
Hills of South Dakota. The summer program offers courses to meet
the entire general education requirement in the nature cluster
(introductory geology, astronomy or meteorology, and environmental
geology or environmental science), and upper division courses
for majors in biology (zoology, botany, and ecology), geology
(field methods and field mapping), and environmental science (field
methods and natural history).
- Washington
D.C.
Wheaton-in-Washington
is a summer program sponsored by the Department of Politics and
International Relations. The program offers a combination of on-campus
study at Wheaton and living in the nation's capital. The Washington
experience includes briefings with leaders on Capitol Hill, with
interest groups, members of the D.C. press corps, and government
agencies. There is a close integration of classroom and field
experience.
- Engineering
Cooperative Program
A five-year liberal arts engineering cooperative program with
Illinois Institute of Technology allows the student to take engineering
courses at IIT's Rice Campus in Wheaton (about 2 1/2 miles from
Wheaton College) while in resident study at Wheaton College. Students
completing this five-year course of study will earn degrees in
chemical, civil, electrical, environmental, mechanical, computer
(hardware or software), or aeronautical engineering from IIT and
liberal arts engineering from Wheaton College. See further explanation
in the Science Area Programs section of the Wheaton College catalog.
