Mission

The University of Michigan-Flint Honors Program offers academically motivated scholars educational learning opportunities that are deeper, broader, and more complex than a traditional university learning experience, through rigorous coursework, scholarship, experiential learning, service learning, community service, close mentorship with faculty, professional development, and with a focus on student centeredness that emphasizes personal growth.

Vision

The Honors Program at the University of Michigan-Flint will stand out as an interdisciplinary, inclusive community of scholars by:

providing enriched academic experiences, including rigorous coursework that emphasizes the importance of diverse perspectives, hones critical thinking skills, and prepares students to be consumers and producers of research
emphasizing personal and social responsibility and nurturing civic and community-engaged students
promoting personal well-being and growth for success throughout students’ education and post graduation journey.

Goals

The Program goals are tied directly to the three pillars of the Honors Program: Rigorous academics, Personal and social responsibility, and Preparation for life post graduation.

Students will graduate the program with mastery of content knowledge, intellectual curiosity, the ability to think innovatively and work collaboratively, with the ability to consume and produce research.
Honors program students will develop personal and social responsibility.
Students will complete the Honors Program prepared for post-graduation success.
