All of the students in this class maintained high school grade point averages above 3.5, and most took many of their high school classes in Honors or Advanced Placement sections of their curricula. The selection criteria used by the Honors Committee are rigorous. All of the students perform well in the classroom and all have established scores on the college board examinations that rank them among the best students applying for admission to Florida Southern College. We desire students who enjoy healthy debate and want to participate in interactive group discussions. We are seeking students with a hunger for the art of living .
Honors students represent every conceivable academic major.
The joy of the Honors experience is that its members come from such diverse areas of interest. There is excitement to be found in engaging a subject matter from a wide variety of world-views and backgrounds. Honors students act in plays with the Florida Southern Vagabonds, play in concerts with the Symphony Band or Orchestra, play intercollegiate soccer, run for student government offices, and engage in all the extra-curricular opportunities available to other students at Florida Southern College. We have intentionally avoided the temptation to single out Honors students and isolate them from the rest of the College community. There are no Honors residence halls.
