Central Michigan University’s nationally recognized Honors Program provides an academic challenge for the university’s outstanding students. Established in 1961 as one of the first such programs in Michigan, the CMU Honors Program offers learning experiences that are qualitatively different from non-Honors courses and creates an advanced learning environment that promotes development of the important skills of inquiry, analysis, synthesis and critical evaluation. As part of the Honors Protocol, each student must complete: • At least 22 credit hours of Honors coursework • Diversity coursework which may include foreign language, American Sign Language, study abroad or an Honors cultural diversity course • A minimum of 120 hours of community service • A senior research project or a creative endeavor
