The program is designed to serve all excellent students, without regard to their major field of study. New freshmen are invited to participate based on an evaluation of ACT or SAT scores and of high school performance. Other students are admitted based on outstanding college performance. Students with cumulative grade point averages of 3.5 or higher after earning nine or more hours of credit at UAH are urged to discuss with the Honors Program director how they might best participate. ROTC prepares students for leadership positions in the U.S. military.
Scholarships are available through a national competition.
