My D enjoys Honors a lot. Cluster courses are nice due to access to experienced faculty, low class sizes, rigor, and opportunity to make friends with other Honors students. Can’t say what courses will be offered next year. Honors has undergone some changes recently, and the literature received last year was a bit vague. Not much more detail than what is on the website. You may learn more visiting the Facebook (www.facebook.com/miamihonors) or Twitter.
If you are close to Oxford, or planning a trip to MU soon, have your daughter contact an Honors staff member:

My daughter and I had a great visit to the Honors house during her senior year to learn more about the program and what it could offer her as she was deciding which college to attend.
