- A contract is required between you and your instructor detailing your Honors project. The project should be designed to take you beyond the normal requirements for the course. The Honors Program attempts to offer Honors credit in a number of disciplines – from Welding to Information Systems and from Math to Sociology. The program is only limited by you, your instructor, and your field of interest.
- Receive practical, real world instruction in your chosen subject outside of the classroom environment
- Transfer to an Honors Program at a Four-Year College or University
- Opportunity to work one-on-one with your instructor
- “Honor Graduate” always looks good on a resume or transcript and is possible with 12 semester hours of Honors credit
- If you choose to complete four courses for honors credit, including HUMA 1301 or HUMA 1302, you will be recognized at graduation, receive Midland College Scholar designation on your diploma, and receive an Honors Medal to wear at graduation. Other students in the program, but with fewer credits will receive “Honors” designation on their transcripts
