Honors College programs at the collegiate level allow students to take specially designated honors courses and to engage in research, internships and volunteer projects.

Many students also become eligible for prestigious scholarships and acceptance into Honors College programs at a bachelor’s degree granting institution.

Students transferring into the UMass Honors College will further their intellectual growth and positive engagement in the community. Thank you to all who made this dream a reality and for putting the success of our students at the forefront of our mission."
“I am so thrilled that these two institutions, which are personally significant to my career, have come together to create this new partnership that will benefit the people of New York and Massachusetts,” said UMass Boston's Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Dr. Karen Ferrer-Muniz. “Collaboration to bring about new experiences for talented and gifted students is so important for the diverse and academically motivated people that our institutions serve. Thank you to all who made this happen and all that will help realize this MOU’s promise.”
The Honors College at 麻豆传媒社区 began in the fall of 2023. It is designed for students with strong high school academic records and participation in extracurricular activities, preferably with leadership experience.
