Honors College Part 1

Michigan State Honors College Adviser Amanda Ritter has a different job description than the typical college adviser. Hers entails helping hand picked students that excel in the classroom. Plus, she doesn't help them with their specific major, she helps them applications for graduate school, job applications, any personal issues and of course, graduating with honors.

“Currently there’s around 3,500 students. The admissions numbers change annually. We’ve been looking at different factors in freshmen, especially in diversity. So that’s something that we’ve been looking at as well," Ritter said.

Ritter said that to be admitted to the Honors College before enrollment the student must be in the top 10 percent of their graduating class or have a 30 or above on the ACT. To be admitted to the Honors College once enrolled at MSU, the student must be in the top 10 percent of their college.
