Honors Graduation Requirements

Honors Program Graduation Requirements

  1. At least 3 credits must be from taking an Honors Colloquium — an interdisciplinary research based course designated HON 298x (example: HON 298G)
  2. The other 6 credits can be from a combination of honors courses, including:
    • Honors Colloquium: you can take more than one of these if you choose.
    • Honors Course: a course that's designated as an honors section of course (example, BIO 180H),
    • Honors Component: a 1-credit independent study added to a regularly offered course, which converts the credits of that course to honors credits (example: HIS 121 with a component becomes a 3-credit honors course). Can typically only be used for one of the three required honors courses.
    • Honors Independent Study: an individual course with a faculty member, 3 credits maximum. Can only be used for one of the three required honors courses.
  3. Maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher.
  4. Earn a grade of B or better in each honors course
