The Honors Program

Enrich Your Education

Ferris State University provides an excellent, career-focused education. The Honors Program enriches it. 

Honors is about getting more out of your college experience by putting more of yourself in. We look for students who perform more brilliantly, seek more challenges, who are more committed, more independent and want to take advantage of more opportunities.

You'll get a college experience made even better by special opportunities to volunteer, study abroad, work with faculty on research projects and attend cultural events, all with new friends who are as intellectually spirited and inquisitive as you are. However you choose to engage, doing so will foster curiosity, dialogue and intellectual rigor.

The Honors Program costs nothing to join, and you won't have to take courses you don't need.
