Entrance requirements

The Program seeks students who will strive for academic excellence and who are aware that they intend to go on to graduate or professional school. We recommend that potential candidates have

• Combined SAT scores (Math + Critical Reading) of 1200 or better
• High school cumulative gradepoint average of 3.5 or better

To apply to the University Honors Program, please send

• A statement of your educational plans (keeping in mind that the Honors Program is geared toward students who plan to go on to graduate or professional school)
• A copy of your previous educational transcript(s)
• A writing sample (because of the focused nature of the Honors College curriculum, it will be most helpful if this can be an example of your work on a formal research paper)
• A completed application form
• Two completed recommendation forms (preferably from teachers)

Application form

The form is available for download in both Word and pdf format.
