What Makes It Different
What do you want to build?
At most schools, honors means the same class with a longer paper. A designation at graduation. Moorhead is built differently.
Moorhead's Honors College runs on individualized pathways. You choose stackable certificates that align with your goals—from entrepreneurship and global perspectives to communication and interdisciplinary studies. Along the way, you can earn digital badges that recognize leadership, research, and other experiences beyond the classroom. Working with faculty mentors, you'll build a personalized Honors experience that reflects your interests, expands your skills, and prepares you for what's next.
