Honors PRIDE

In addition to providing specific challenges and opportunities, the Honors Program is designed to help the brightest and best students mature as scholars. Honors PRIDE is a specially designed academic pathway in which courses and experiences build on each other to enhance skill sets. Honors PRIDE represents the main components of the MSSU Honors Program, namely Portfolio, Research, International Experience, Development, and Engagement. This pathway starts off with easy exposure-based activities and incentivizes student participation using digital badges that culminate in high-impact learning.

 

The Honors Program is thus a competency-based experiential learning program that scaffolds the student experience. Honors PRIDE is powered by Suitable, an app that keeps Honors students engaged both inside and outside of the classroom. It improves the tracking and reporting of co-curricular activities and any time a student participates and/or scans an event, their attendance is recorded and points are added to their account. Students can always log into their Suitable account to check their point total, see upcoming events, and track their Honors coursework.

 

Suitable can be downloaded in the app store.
