Academic Affairs
The Honors Program represents an opportunity for UMM students to pursue an interdisciplinary and interdivisional curriculum and work toward graduation with honors. All UMM students are eligible to participate in the Honors Program.
Honors courses are limited to a class size of 20. The elective courses examine a particular topic from an interdisciplinary perspective. The courses are often team-taught by faculty from different UMM academic divisions and concern subjects of special interest to the faculty who design them.
Further information about the Honors Program may be obtained from the Academic Center for Enrichment (ACE) office at www.morris.umn.edu/ACE.

Admission Requirements
Students normally apply to the program in spring semester of their freshman year and begin coursework sophomore year. While everyone may apply, academic success in the fall semester, faculty recommendations, and a short essay may be used to limit the number of students to those with the proven motivation and ability to likely succeed in the program. Applications are available at the Academic Center for Enrichment, 5 Student Center.
