Testimonies from Honors Students:

“After being accepted into the RN program, it was an option that would allow me to dive into the matieral with more depth and all of the courses offered would allow me to obtain enoughh ours to graduate with Honors. The process was simple and more directed. I am now able to gather a better understanding of the material presented in class.”
                                                                                          -- Cassandra Turner, current student

“The MAC Honors Program experiences helped me to be able to take on more responsibility and still complete quality work and to be self-directed. I like being able to explore my curiosity in the sciences and getting to know my instructors better”
                                                                                            --Abigail Goff, Spring 2011 graduate

“MAC Honors experience helped prepare me for my field by helping me understand that I will have to reaearch new materials every year on work because methods are always changing and it also taught me to be patient.
Some things I enjoyed were meeting new people, getting to work one on one with the instructor and learning more about histology.”
