The University Honors Program is an outcomes-based and discovery-oriented program that enables its students to create their own path of study to help them grow as scholars and citizens and meet their honors and liberal education requirements in a personally meaningful way. 

Honors students must meet approximately ten learning outcomes that increase in complexity during their second and third years at Miami, thus ensuring that they are well prepared for the global challenges of 21 st -century life.  Once each year, students reflect on previous learning experiences, provide evidence of fulfilling outcomes, and develop a plan for meeting remaining learning outcomes as well as their goals for college and life. 

By designing and offering introductory, intermediate and advanced courses and co-curricular programs that promote key learning outcomes, Miami faculty and staff play a crucial role in our students’ development.  They also assist students’ progress through their important roles as mentors and advisors.  As experts on learning and discovery, Miami educators provide helpful guidance to our students to ensure that they are being challenged to the fullest and working toward their unique goals and dreams.
