About MBU Honors - Missouri Baptist University

MBU St. Louis Honors engages a diverse population of highly motivated students with scholarly and creative challenges that empower and equip them to be expansive, innovative thinkers, conscious global citizens, and curious, committed followers of Christ. We ask that students take intellectual risks; that they hold themselves to high standards; that they act as servant leaders on campus and off; and that they engage the big questions of today and yesterday with rigor and charity.

The program not only prepares students for careers and graduate school, but also trains them to become compassionate leaders, both in the Christian community and in the world.

Students who have been accepted and admitted to MBU as freshmen or transfer students click the link below and complete the online application as soon as possible. Early applicants may be invited to an interview in the fall semester. Online applications should be completed by the end of February. Applicants who are accepted will be invited to participate in on-campus interviews scheduled throughout the school year until the 15 positions have been filled. Honors interviews begin in the fall semester, usually late October or early November, and each year more and more students are applying early because of the limited number of positions available, so it is best to apply as soon as you have been accepted and admitted.

Transfer students who have been members of Honors Programs at other universities may apply for admission to MBU Honors. MBU Honors has a transfer agreement with St. Charles Community College Honors and is able to accommodate students from other schools if their Honors work is compatible with the MBU Honors curriculum.
