Why the Honors College?
Being an Honors College student is more than a prestigious title and additional requirements. It's the chance to have unparalleled experiences working side-by-side with Miami professors on cutting-edge research. It's the opportunity to travel to the far reaches of the globe to put theory into practice, develop projects that create new knowledge, and join an enriching residential environment. With a network of faculty and peers dedicated to supporting your personal and professional development, our Honors College is where you will find a path to further your future.
The mission of the Miami University Honors College is to produce citizen scholars, who emerge from their honors education equipped not only with a lifelong love of learning, but also a lifelong commitment to use their talents, interests, and ambitions to advance the common good. For our community of learners, the Honors College offers unique courses, Honors-exclusive
ve study abroad programs, opportunities for faculty mentorship, and a supportive residential experience in which students thrive. Honors College students complete rigorous, scholarly curricular requirements and produce an Honors Senior Project that meets the quality of publishable or professional work by the time that they graduate.
Miami recently was ranked No. 5 in the 50 Best Honors Colleges – 2026 by College Transitions due to the opportunities for student growth and development as part of the citizen scholar model of the Honors College.
