Honors students must meet the following requirements in order to graduate with special recognition:
1. Admission into the Honors Program
The program seeks to involve students who have high potential for future growth and success, not necessarily those who have demonstrated exceptional abilities in the past. Therefore, students will be admitted to the program using a holistic determination of potential based on the following factors:
- High school or college grade point average
- Instructor recommendation
- Written essay
- Interview with instructor and Honors Advisor
2. At least one semester's participation in the Honors Seminar
The Honors Seminar allows Honors students from across campus to discuss topics of general interest and/or public concern in an atmosphere of critical thinking and debate. Contact the Honors Co-Advisors for more information about the seminar.
3. Completion of Honors Contracts in four courses selected by the student, and approved by the division/department and the Honors Advisor.
Honors contracts allow students to receive Honors credit in their courses by developing and completing a special project under the supervision of the course instructor and with the approval of the Honors Advisor. Honors contract work may be substituted for some portion of the regular curriculum. When students complete the course and the contract, they will receive Honors credit for the course.
