Home About Admission

Admission

The Honors College student body is recruited from among incoming first-year students without regard to race, color, sex, national origin, or intended field of study.  The Honors College works with the Admissions Office to identify future Honors students from the academically qualified applicants who have been accepted to the University.  Consideration is given to factors such as academic preparation and performance in high school, scores on standardized tests, interests, and potential for enhancing not only the diversity of the Honors College but of the University as a whole.

Letters are sent to prospective Honors students, inviting them to apply to the Honors College.  Interested candidates are encouraged to fill out the application by May 15.

The applications are then reviewed by the Dean of the Honors College and members of the Honors College Committee.  The criteria for selection include:

  • SAT and/or ACT scores
  • Grade point average:
    unweighted GPA at least 3.50
  • School and community activities, honors and awards

NOTE: Recipients of the Elbin or Presidential academic scholarship are always accepted into the Honors College, but they must still fill out the online application form.

THE CURRICULUM

Coursework in the Honors College is a supplement to each student’s major. It is meant to be highly engaging, innovative, and intellectually satisfying. … ...
