We look forward to making Honors an integral part of your academic journey and Miami experience. Please use this website as a guide for Honors as you prepare to join our community.
Miami’s Honors College is a residential college that requires first-year Honors students to live in the Honors residence halls. Our buildings are the modern Hillcrest, Hodge, and Young Halls. Students living in the Honors residence halls become involved in the Honors community by building a network of intellectual engagement, coordinating community service projects, and participating in social events. Read the FAQs for additional details.
The Honors College curriculum requires students to complete six (6) Honors experiences and the culminating Honors Senior Project over the course of their undergraduate studies. This averages to one (1) experience per semester over three years and the Honors Senior Project in the final year. Honors students work with their Honors advisor to create an individualized plan to complete the Honors College requirements.
This achievement requires the proposal, development, and completion of a substantial project. This project can be a scholarly, research-based project or it can be achieved through an intensive and sustained creative, pre-professional, or co-curricular activity. Students are encouraged to use their Honors experiences to prepare for this project. Each project is student led and faculty mentored.
