Admissions

The ����ý Max Planck Honors Program is offered across three degrees at the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science (Biology, Psychology, Neuroscience & Behavior) and 4 concentrations at the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College (Biology, Biology/Chemistry, Neuroscience, Psychology). All students pursuing the above listed degrees are encouraged to apply. No experience is required.

This is a 2-year program that participants will typically apply during their sophomore year to begin the program during the fall semester of their junior year. Students admitted to the ����ý-MPHP will need to designate 3-6 elective credits toward fulfilling the course requirements of the program, participate in mentored research, write a thesis, and defend the thesis publicly. Students who successfully complete the ����ý-MPHP will receive a designation of “����ý Max Planck Honors” on their final transcript.
