Honors
You may apply for the Honors Program in the fall of your junior
year. Honors is a three-semester program open to students with
a cumulative grade point average of 3.3 or better. From the spring
of the junior year through the fall of the senior year, students
admitted to the Honors Program pursue a research project of their
choice under the direction of a Millsaps faculty member. The outcome
of this research, a written theses, is presented to a panel of
faculty members for approval at the conclusion of the fall semester
of the senior year. The following spring honors students who have
successfully defended their thesis come together for an interdisciplinary
colloquium on a topic of broad intellectual interest. Students
who complete all three semesters of the Honors Program satisfactorily
graduate with honors.
International Study
You will find your view of the world greatly expanded by the Millsaps
Core Curriculum with its global perspective. So you may want to
further enhance your education through study abroad - either in
the summer or the regular academic year. Millsaps offers international
programs in many locations, including Mexico, Cost Rica, London,
Paris, Rome, Greece, Munich and Prague.
Internships
You will also have opportunities to explore your career interests
while you are here. One way you may do so is through internships
with local businesses, government agencies, art museums, clinics,
or service organizations. These internships are available for credit
beginning in your first year and extending through your four years
as a student at Millsaps.
