In addition to the integrated Paideia experiences, Southwestern encourages students to apply for a more intensive version of Paideia: Paideia with Distinction. Any student who is selected to participate will be recognized as having achieved Paideia with Distinction if they have successfully completed:
- a Paideia Minor or two High Impact Learning Experiences,
- a Paideia Seminar, taken during the junior or senior year, and
- participation in at least one SU Research and Creative Works Symposium.
To apply for Paideia with Distinction, contact Director of Paideia Alison Marr.
