Students of the Pierre Laclede Honors College pursue any major they choose and complete either a two-year or a four-year honors program. Each student shares in a challenging and innovative curriculum, which occupies one-third of their undergraduate career. The honors experience also requires independent study under the supervision of individual faculty. These projects include guided reading, supervised undergraduate research and/or academic- or career-related internships and public service projects. To this work, honors students bring their intelligence and a wide diversity of experience and values – among the college’s most precious assets. Completion of the program marks a significant achievement. These students are recognized during the ceremony and are wearing special red and gold honors cords around their necks.
