Advantages

There are many advantages to being a part of the MU 荣誉项目, 但是我们课程的重点是 创造你自己的体验. At MU honors students can select pre-arranged honors courses (where the honors project is already outlined by the faculty member) or they can plan conversions in courses they are 已经登记 in. Our goal is to facilitate a community of honors students in courses in meaningful ways that promote the learning for all MU students.

Active students in the honors program also have the benefit of registering early for their following semester’s classes, increasing the level of control students have over their course schedules. Students are able to develop close relationships with fellow honors students as they participate in honors program sponsored events. Students are able to demonstrate to graduate schools and employers that they challenged themselves while obtaining their college degree. Students develop their leadership through the 荣誉领导委员会 student group, and by getting involved on campus and in the local community through service projects. Finally, students are recognized at graduation and wear special honors regalia to recognize their achievements while at MU.
