Pinnacle Honor Society
Pinnacle is MTSU's chapter of the national Pinnacle Honor Society for nontraditional students, generally over 25. Our MTSU chapter makes exceptions for students with adult responsibilities who are not yet 25. In addition to the 3.0 GPA required for undergraduates (3.4 for graduate students), Pinnacle looks at previous community service, volunteer work, and honors that the student has earned in life.

Middle Tennessee State University shows support and recognition of our adult students during National Non-traditional Student Week. National Non-Traditional Student Week is held the first week of November and we plan to celebrate our students with a variety of activities.
