Maryville provides three options for undergraduates who want a more rigorous and fulfilling educational experience: the Bascom Honors Program includes learning communities and exclusive courses, the Distinguished Fellowship Program provides financial assistance to degree-seekers performing original research, and the Global Scholars Program offers three study abroad experiences as well as a minor in international studies. Maryville accepts GED and HiSET scores.
