These students will be notified of their eligibility by the Office of Admissions Services, and may choose from among a variety of honors sections of general education courses listed in the class schedule each semester. Transfer students and other current students may also qualify for this tier of honors work. Students who complete a minimum of four classes in either of these tiers qualify to take honors contract courses for upper level honors credit. These contracts allow students to earn honors credits in regular courses by negotiating new requirements that match Honors College guidelines. The Honors Senior Capstone Project is a senior honors thesis or project suitable for the student's major.
Students present their project in a public forum and are evaluated by a faculty committee.
A student who earns 10 or more hours of honors credit will be recognized at graduation. The Honors College is a co-enrollment program, allowing students in all five schools and colleges of the University to participate.
