Honors Program Mission

Our Mission

In support of ECU's mission "to educate students for life in a rapidly changing and culturally diverse society" the primary mission of the Honors Program is to provide an enhanced educational experience for the most academically talented, highly motivated students of East Central University. This experience is provided primarily through an enriched curriculum of honors courses and opportunities for undergraduate research. The mission includes the continuing development and assessment of honors courses which are characterized by small enrollment, high-quality faculty, and innovative design. Further, the Honors Program seeks to develop honors students individually and as a community of scholars through providing a mentored environment, promoting university and community service, and recognizing academic achievements.

East Central University's mission is to foster a learning environment in which students, faculty, staff, and community
interact to educate students for life in a rapidly changing and culturally diverse society. Within its service area,
East Central University provides leadership for economic development and cultural enhancement.
