Incredible Hands-On Learning
Honors research is designed to provide Honors students with opportunities to earn academic credit by participating in research led by an Mizzou faculty member. This opportunity allows the students to participate in ongoing research and gain valuable experience in their chosen field of study.
Interested in earning Honors credit for undergraduate research? Fill out the below form and send via email to MizzouHonors@missouri.edu or drop it off at 210 Lowry Hall.
The Office of Undergraduate Research offers a variety of student resources and guides on how to get started with research at Mizzou.
- Applications must be submitted to the Honors College via email or in person (210 Lowry Hall) for approval prior to the start of the semester.
- The faculty sponsor of the course is responsible for submitting a grade at the end of the semester.
- Variable Credit Hour Information:
- In general, one-credit hour projects should be designed to take at least 45 project/contact hours (~2.8 hours per week), two-credit hour projects should be designed to take at least 90 project/contact hours (~5.6 hours per week), and three-credit hour projects should be designed to take at least 135 project/contact hours (~8.4 hours per week).
- Description of project: write a clear description of your project. This description should include the rationale as well as intended means by which the project will be undertaken. It should be understood that any project presented must be designed as semester-long project, fulfilling the same time and academic expectations as regular honors course.
- A written product OR public scholarship presentation must be included as part of the outcomes; please provide specific details on the selected product’s content, format, and length. The combined total for all written work must equal 5-10 pages per credit hour. If a public presentation is part of your proposal it should be equivalent to the work for a written project.
- A timeline for the various project components spanning the duration of the semester including various checkpoints at which
the faculty member will assess progress, must also be provided. - Student signature and faculty member signature.
