What Does It Mean To Be An Honors Student?
In the MSSU Honors Program, we want you to make the most of your college experience. But, we also want you to wonder, "What is a college experience?"
The Honors Program at Missouri Southern State University is a specially-designed academic path exclusively for high-achieving students that provides specific challenges and opportunities. The most important benefit that the students in our Honors Program enjoy is being a part of a wonderful group of peers who share similar educational values. Honors students have the advantage of a distinguished learning environment, enhanced resources, a strong community to support them, and special recognition designed to help them achieve academically and grow into well-rounded individuals.
Course Opportunities
Each semester, special sections of required courses are designated as Honors sections. These classes are limited at 15 students to ensure students have more one-on-one time with their professors, emphasizing a discussion-oriented classroom.Honors courses don't simply "pile on" additional work. Instead, they require intensive critical and analytical thinking, writing, and speaking. Honors students have priority registration and are among the first to register for classes each semester.
Campus and Community
There are plenty of ways for Honors students to get involved with MSSU outside of the classroom. Honors students have the opportunity to socialize with fellow students through participation in campus activities such as homecoming or athletic events. Honors students also enjoy movie nights, museum visits, and guest speakers via the Honors Lecture Series.
