Honors courses are reserved for honors students. At least two and one-half years are required to complete the Honors Program sequence of courses. Additional information is available from the Undergraduate Dean's Office. Admission Admission to the Honors Program is limited to a small number of exceptional students who are chosen on a competitive basis. Admission decisions are made by the Honors Program Committee.
Most students enter the program as freshmen, but some are admitted as sophomores.
Students entering the University and the College of Business Administration as freshmen may apply to the Honors Program by completing a separate application form available from the Undergraduate Dean's Office. The Honors Program Committee considers the student's SAT I or American College Testing Program score, high school class rank, preparatory courses, extracurricular activities, evidence of leadership ability, and other objective criteria. The application deadline for admission to the program as a freshman is February 1 for the following fall semester. Students may also seek admission to the Honors Program during the spring semester of their freshman year. In addition to the criteria listed above for freshman applicants, the Honors Program Committee considers the student's University grade point average and the number, type, and rigor of the courses the student has taken at the University.
