Opportunities for the Superior Student

An enriched academic program that can be planned largely by the individual is available to the superior student at Central Michigan University. Numerous special opportunities exist for the student who wishes to enter university study at an advanced level, to move on rapidly to specialized studies, or simply to learn more.

Larzelere Hall, where Honors Program first-year students are strongly encouraged to live, provides a specialized living and learning community for high-ability students.

Financial assistance is provided for many students of outstanding high school and college academic performance by means of Board of Trustees, State of Michigan, and endowed scholarships. Advanced placement earned through College Level Examination Program is another incentive to the academically talented and motivated student. The Honors Program also offers research and study abroad funding.

In addition to recognition upon graduation with high class standing, the University provides many honor societies in the various departments and fields of study.
