Current Students

Current MU students can still benefit from the Honors College. We are looking for students who will integrate into honors wholeheartedly and enthusiastically.

Eligibility Requirements

  • Current full-time MU student
  • Completed at least 12 MU credit hours
  • 3.7 cumulative GPA (includes grades obtained from any UM System School)
  • Have less than 75 total credit hours (includes transfer and AP/IB credits) OR not be beyond the fifth semester of your college career

Students who have been dismissed from the Honors College are not eligible to reapply.

How to Apply

  • It is strongly recommended you meet with your current academic advisor to discuss the Honors Certificate prior to applying.
  • Complete the Honors College Application & submit the following:
    • List 3-5 organizations that showcase your interests, experiences, and what you hope to accomplish. Include roles, responsibilities, and length of involvement.
    • Personal statement of 500-750 words that addresses the following:
      • Why you want to be a part of the MU Honors College and how the Honors College can enhance your college experience.
      • A description of your academic and career goals. Include any special interests: research, leadership, etc.
      • How you plan to complete the 24-credit hour certificate. List courses or experiences (study abroad, research, etc.) that you are interested in completing. View options for the Honors Certificate here.

Fast-Track Admission for Current Students (FTACS)

Students who apply as seniors in high school but are denied will be considered for FTACS admissions. Once an FTACS-eligible student completes their first semester at Mizzou and meets the 3.7 GPA requirement, the Honors College will reach out to that student. The student may be admitted without submitting a current student application. For questions about this process, please email umchonorscollege@missouri.edu.
