To remain in the program, a student must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above and must not fall below a semester GPA of 2.0 in any one semester. Students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above to graduate through the honors program. If they do so, this will be recorded on their transcript. If a student is eligible for the program and wishes to participate in it, the student should apply to the Office of Academic Programs with a recommendation for an advisory committee to administer the student's program.
Preferably committees have three advisors.
The advisory committee and the student in this program will develop a schedule of courses which best meets the educational objectives for the particular student. The minimum restrictions on courses are the State Law requirement of history or political science and 6 hours of chemistry or a science cluster are currently being required as a condition of acceptance of all degree programs in the College. Departments may also impose additional requirements. The B.S. degree under the honors program requires 128 hours unless the student takes advantage of the permissible reduction relating to graduate study. The total number of hours required for the B.S. degree may be reduced by up to six hours if the student successfully completed graduate level courses in lieu of the above hours.
