Honors Program

Join the honors community, a group of intellectually curious students and faculty who work together to explore unique topics and make connections both in and out of the classroom.

What is the Honors Program?

Honors students at St. Ambrose and Mount Mercy University are committed to excelling in college. Beyond a standard of excellence, joining the combined Honors Program gives you a community all your own.

Start off the program with wide-ranging, interdisciplinary discussions in the Honors core courses. Later, work with a faculty member to develop a research project or scholarly activity.

Whether you're participating in interdisciplinary discussions or creating a project in your field of study, our Honors Program provides invaluable experience to jumpstart your career when you complete your degree.
