Strategic Plan: 2026-2030
Honors Multiplies the Power of Every Major
Big Ideas
Each Big Idea intentionally cuts across the entire strategic plan. Rather than advancing a single goal, these initiatives strengthen multiple dimensions of the Honors College simultaneously.
Priority One
Establish the Mizzou Honors College as a top-tier academic choice for extraordinary students across Missouri and nationwide.
Priority Two
Advance our 75-year legacy of providing a transformative, face-to-face curriculum that positions students to thrive amid growing polarization, social isolation and the ease of cognitive offloading.
Priority Three
Guide ambitious students from discovery to distinction through mentorship, engagement and purposeful preparation for leadership, impact and career.
Priority Four
Strengthen a dynamic Honors community that fosters belonging, collaboration and lifelong connections among students, faculty, staff and alumni.
