What do you want to build?

At most schools, honors means the same class with a longer paper. A designation at graduation. Moorhead is built differently.

Moorhead’s Honors College runs on individualized pathways. You choose the stackable certificates that align with your goals: entrepreneurship, global perspectives, communication, leadership. You deepen your knowledge across disciplines and work with a mentor to design experiences where you learn by doing. You go beyond campus and use the world as your classroom. You’ll graduate with credentials that reflect the depth of your learning and professional skillsets that will set you apart in the workplace.

Real resources to support you.

Every Honors College scholar has access to up to $3,000 to fund professional development experiences. It’s yours to use on study abroad, research, conferences, or experiences that fit your goals. You also receive exclusive consideration for Presidential and Provost Scholarships, the highest-value awards on campus, plus priority registration and the Honors Living Community, giving you exclusive access to preferred housing options alongside other Honors scholars. Together, you’ll take part in curated events and programming, designed to spark your curiosity and build your network.

A mentor is part of the deal too. Faculty, executive coaches, alumni leaders. People who know the field you're heading into.
