Elon College Fellows

Be sure to visit the Elon College Fellows website.

As an Elon College Fellow, you will join a community with a longstanding tradition of excellence in the arts and sciences. The program begins with an introduction to the primary academic areas in the arts and sciences. You will explore the nature and processes of the disciplines -- what it means to think like a historian or conduct research as an organic chemist.

During the four-year program, you can expect to:

• Be part of a community of students and faculty who will support your intellectual and personal development.
• Explore the major branches of the arts and sciences and learn to ask questions from multiple perspectives.
• See the arts and sciences in action as you study in Washington, D.C., during Winter Term.
• Take a team-taught seminar that will help you explore what it means to think and work as a professional as you focus your academic plans and choose a major.
• Work with faculty mentors on creative, discovery-based projects that culminate in professional products, presentations or significant research and writing.
• Be received into one of three specific discipline-based programs as an Arts and Humanities Fellow, a Social Science Fellow, or a Mathematical and Natural Sciences Fellow.

Arts and Humanities Fellows are dedicated to the disciplines of Art, Art History, Arts Administration, Dance Performance and Choreography, English, Foreign Languages, Music, Music Technology, Music Theatre, Performing Arts, Philosophy or Religious Studies.

Social Sciences Fellows immerse themselves in Anthropology, History, Human Service Studies, International Studies, Political Science, Psychology, Public Administration, Public Health Studies or Sociology.

Mathematical and Natural Sciences Fellows demonstrate an excellent aptitude for Applied Mathematics, Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Computing Sciences, Environmental and Ecological Science, Environmental Studies, Exercise Science, Mathematics, Statistics or Physics.

Who should apply?

Students must have completed a rigorous course of study, rank in the top 15 percent of their high school class, and have a GPA of at least 3.7 and SATs of 1930 or more (ACT 29 or higher).
