Description
The Honors Program offers an academically challenging program and financial support to highly qualified students seeking an enriched undergraduate education. Each year, 40-50 lower-division applicants and 20-25 juniors are admitted to the program. Students in the program must maintain an overall GPA of 3.5, enroll in special Honors general education courses, and complete augmented academic majors that offer the opportunity to work directly with faculty and to develop research and other intellectual and practical skills. Honors students receive special advising services and are encouraged to pursue intellectual challenges, to perform community service, to travel and to aspire to graduate and professional education. Upon graduation, Honors students receive “University Honors” distinction on their diploma.
Scholarship Opportunities: Renewable scholarships will be offered to lower-division and upper-division-entry Honors Program students.
