Southern Miss Honors College

Southern Miss Honors College Discover • Experience • Thrive Above all, we encourage students to seize opportunities and boldly determine their own paths—both at the university and beyond.

We create a supportive and challenging intellectual community, promote attentive mentoring, and expose students to cutting-edge scholars and artists.
