University Honors Difference

  • Grace Semester — To insure that students maintain their scholarships, University Honors has instituted a grace semester. Should a student fall below the required 3.25 cumulative GPA, a "grace" semester provides another chance to improve the cumulative GPA.
  • Honors Curriculum — The curriculum for the Honors program works concurrently with any major. Honors students are required to take 19 to 23 hours of Honors courses depending on their majors. For example, instead of taking American History, the students take an Honors section of American History.
  • Course Load — Each Honors student is required to complete a minimum of 12 credit hours each semester, as opposed to the usual 15 required of Academic Scholarship recipients. Reducing the credit hour requirement creates a more manageable transition from high school to college.
