Honors Program Requirements

Honors students must maintain a GPA of ≥ 3.50 to remain in good standing in the program. If they fall below a 3.50 GPA, they will have one year to demonstrate that they are making progress towards improving their GPA.
To complete the program, Honors students are required to earn at least 24 Honors credits from the required courses and must also earn at least a B in each Honors course. Any student earning less than a B in an Honors course will not receive Honors credit for that course and will be placed on Probation for the following semester.
Honors students may fulfill 3 Honors Seminar credits by completing one graduate course (seniors with instructor’s permission) or an Honors Contract Course (juniors/seniors with instructor’s permission).
To be recognized as an Honors Program Scholar upon graduation, the student must successfully write and publicly defend their Honors Thesis, and graduate with latin honors.
Ideally, participants should complete one Honors course per semester. Students will be permitted to enroll in a maximum of two Honors courses per semester.
Honor students are required to be active members of the Honors Program community, and attend at least two program events each semester, including lectures, field trips, socials, and other students’ theses defenses.
