What sets Mount Union apart from other colleges and universities is the fact that you can participate in anything you want here. You can participate in athletics and performing arts, which is something that you can’t do at most schools. In fact, I was a member of the track team last year, which won an OAC championship, and then one week after the championship, I traveled to Italy to tour with the Concert Choir. That’s not something students can do at most colleges!

Honors Program
The Honors Program at the University of Mount Union is a highly-selective program designed for motivated and intellectual students who have set high academic priorities earlier on in their high school and college careers. The program provides academic flexibility and challenge while at the same time encouraging intellectual curiosity, leadership, initiative, creativity, civic-mindedness and a high standard of performance.
Two honors tracks are available – University Honors and Honors in the Major. A qualified student may participate in both tracks, and may discontinue honors study without penalty.
The Honors Program is not more work. It’s a different kind of work. It’s essentially a learning community for students that provides academic and social support. Students who pursue the University Honors track will take a series of seven academic courses as well as complete Honors in the Major. Those who participate in the Honors in the Major track must complete three courses within their major at Mount Union. Honors courses cover material at a faster pace and in more depth than usually would be covered in a regular course.
