The Honors curriculum is designed to offer a special interdisciplinary emphasis at each level of the student's academic career. UTA's Honors College is the only such College in the North Texas area and only one of three in Texas. The Honors College seeks students with broad interests, varied talents, and diverse cultural backgrounds. Any major is compatible with the Honors College. Honors students are expected to maintain a 3.0 grade point average.
Progress is reviewed each semester.
Honors courses and the schedule for Honors work are compatible with all majors. There is no penalty for withdrawing from the Honors College at any time, and all Honors work already completed will continue to count toward the degree. It is impossible to measure the Honors College in terms of intangible benefits, participation itself forms the basis for gain. Honors courses are designed to offer a challenging interdisciplinary perspective to students who enjoy a rigorous program of study. Emphasis is on allowing students more personal involvement, discussion time, and interaction with Honors faculty and other Honors students.
