Schoolcraft is a comprehensive, open door, community-based college. The mission of the college is to provide a transformational learning experience designed to increase the capacity of individuals and groups to achieve intellectual, social, and economic goals. Founded in 1998, the Schoolcraft Scholars Honors Program, is designed to provide talented, academically-motivated students with an enhanced educational experience.

Schoolcraft Scholars enjoy frequent interaction with peers and honors faculty in a learning environment that promotes scholarship and community. They are challenged to grow intellectually, increase their awareness of the society around them, question the status quo, think critically, work collaboratively, and become involved in the community through service-learning projects.
