University Honors Program University Honors rogram Undergraduates with motivation and outstanding academic promise will find special intellectual challenge in the University Honors Program at The Catholic University of America. The program hones skills in critical thinking and lays a solid foundation in the classical liberal arts. Its interdisciplinary core provides an integrated worldview and stresses traditional values of our Christian heritage. Writing and communication skills are given special attention.
Students also participate in research projects and enrichment programs outside the classroom.
The core sequences of the University Honors Program cross disciplines and form an integrated liberal arts curriculum. Interconnections with requirements in a student's area of concentration are established on an individual basis. The Honors Advisory Council selects freshmen for participation after they have been accepted by the Office of Admissions. For transfer students and upperclassmen, who may apply for admittance after an initial interview, a minimum 3.5 G.P.A. after the completion of one full semester load at CUA is required. University Honors Program students are expected to maintain a 3.5 G.P.A. over two semesters in order to remain in the program.
