The University Scholars Program is a sequence of courses and other activities for a selected group of talented and highly motivated students. A major goal is to provide special academic opportunities which will assist these students to perform with distinction in their careers and as citizens.
All courses carry full academic credit.
The ten hours of the University Scholars curriculum are required for graduation with the designation University Scholar. Admission Students with a minimum 28 ACT and 3.5 GPA are invited into the program as entering freshmen although students with outstanding academic records already enrolled at the University or transferring from another institution may be invited to join the program. Entering students are selected largely on the basis of the formal high school record. Students already in attendance at the University or transferring from another institution may be invited into the program as sophomores on the basis of their academic record during the freshman year. Recommendation for continuation in the program is contingent upon performance.
