UM-Flint Honors Scholar Program
Why choose the UM-F Honors Program? We have a lot to offer!
Classes are small and individualized
- Students work one-on one with the honors director and specialists in their field
- The directors offer individual help and guidance in planning the student's course of study, from freshman to senior level
- Students have a direct one-on-one relationship with professors who act as their personal advisor in their chosen major
Students present at professional conferences
- Each year 15 to 20 students in the program present at undergraduate and professional conferences
- This is a unique opportunity for undergraduate students, and sets you apart from your peers
We offer numerous opportunities for independent research
- Students carry out independent study projects (Honors Elections) in five different course of their choice
- The funded off-campus project is frequently done at another institution, in the field, or in a place of business
We play an active, dynamic role on campus
Honors students are active and excited about what they do. They play important roles throughout the university. Honors students have:
- Served as presidents and vice presidents of student government
- Edited and reported for the student newspaper, M Times
- Participated actively in the Honors Student Council
We open doors to the future
- Students graduating from the honors program are at the most prestigious graduate and professional schools
- Two of our students were accepted at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor Law School, which admits only 350 students out of over 5,000 applicants, or only seven out of one hundred applicants
- Graduates have been accepted by the Mayo Clinic medical school in Minnesota, at the Northwestern University Medical School, and the University of Michigan Ann Arbor Dental School
- 100% of the students in the program applying to medical school have been accepted. Compare this to about 55% at the larger campuses in Michigan.
