If an Honors student does not meet the program requirements, it becomes the responsibility of the Honors Committee, through the Office of the School Secretary, to credit completed courses equitably toward a degree program. Such action shall permit a student to complete a degree program without penalty due to participation in the Honors Program. Honors students enroll in the NRE Honors Colloquium for a minimum of two credit hours and are required to complete eight or more hours of Individual Studies. Students in the Combined Program may utilize undergraduate and graduate research hours to meet the eight hour requirement or undertake all eight hours of research at the graduate level. The latter requirement is to be completed over a period of two or more quarters.
Honors students enjoy graduate student library privileges.
Any student in the Honors Program who has completed 150 quarter credit hours with an accumulative point hour ratio of at least 3.5, including all the University Basic Education Requirements, may apply to the Secretary of the School for admission to the Combined Natural Resources - Graduate Program. This program leads to the concurrent award of the Bachelor of Science and the Master of Science degrees. Eligible students submit a joint program of study through their graduate adviser for approval by the School Graduate and Honors Committees. All graduate credit courses must be included on the application. The graduate credit courses may be subsequently changed by the School Graduate Committee or the graduate faculty adviser without the approval of the School Honors Committee.
