Students may indicate on their applications to Northern Michigan University if they would like to be considered for admission to the Honors Program.
Honors Program Student Profile:
Honors Program students tend to share these characteristics:
- High school GPA of 3.7 or higher

- Significant involvement in extracurricular activities or community service
