Honors Program
Mission Statement
The Honors Program at Motlow State Community College (MSCC) provides an interdisciplinary education of exceptional quality to highly motivated students, taught by highly credentialed and motivated faculty. A community of emerging scholars who have a passion for learning and a drive to seek academic excellence, the Honors Program fosters innovative and critical thought from broad global and cultural perspectives through small, specially designed general education Honors courses and stimulating Honors seminars. The Honors Program cultivates self-expression and the free and creative exchange of ideas; in addition, the Honors experience provides co-curricular and extracurricular learning opportunities, Honors Program and academic program advisement, and community responsibility through service projects. The Honors scholar seeks discovery, knowledge, wisdom, and personal growth and fosters the highest standards of personal and academic integrity and intellectual curiosity. The Honors Program seeks to motivate scholars to develop their fullest potentials, including well-developed composition and research skills, ethical decision making, and information literacy.
