The General Honors Program offers students the opportunity to select rigorous courses in the liberal arts and sciences portion of their program of study. General Honors is awarded to graduating seniors who complete five approved courses from each of the four core areas of mathematics, natural science, social science and humanities. The Phi Beta Kappa Association of Northeast Missouri sponsors award presentations for General Honors graduates. Recipients wear their medals with academic regalia during graduation.
Medals feature the lamp of learning and are hung from purple and white ribbons.
