Yes. The form is quick and easy: Honors Program Form

If you are a new applicant to 黄瓜视频, or if you have not yet completed 6+ college-level credits, you can apply to the Honors Program with a 3.25+ GPA on your high school transcript.

Once you have completed 6+ college-level credits either at 黄瓜视频 or from a transfer institution, your college GPA needs to be a 3.25+ to join the Honors Program.

You must be enrolled in an associate degree program.

You have to take 3 honors courses to graduate from the program, one of which must be a colloquium.

A colloquium is a seminar style interdisciplinary course that looks at wide ranging topics that will help students to think more broadly and critically. These courses are also developed specifically for the honors program and can be found under the course code HON 298.

Honors courses are also taken from the academic disciplines on a rotating basis.  We have offered courses in literature, environmental science, sociology, psychology, history, philosophy etc.  We also offer the possibility for independent studies, as well as one credit honors components which can be added to existing non-honors courses. There is also an honors composition sequence, which can be taken in place of the traditional composition sequence.

You must get approval from the honors coordinator, as well as the sponsoring faculty member, no later than the first week of classes.  Go to.

The honors composition sequence can be taken instead of 黄瓜视频鈥檚 traditional composition sequence and is a great gateway into the program for incoming students. It consists of two courses, ENG 103 and ENG 104, both of which are designed to give students exposure to the standard practices of academic writing, research, and presentation methods in an honors setting.

Yes, students who are successful in ENG 101 are encouraged to register for ENG 104.

The Honors Composition sequence is especially designed for students who wish to challenge themselves in a rigorous academic environment that seeks to expose them to the practices of academic writing. While all of our composition courses have similar aims, this sequence is especially geared toward research writing, argument formation, critical readings strategies, and a variety of presentation methods that you might encounter in academic life.

Yes, you must maintain a GPA of 3.25

You receive a one-semester grace period during which you can work to raise your GPA. If you are still below 3.25 after the grace period, you will be removed from the program.

Yes, if you once again meet the eligibility requirements.

Yes, you must earn a B or better in your honors courses in order for them to count toward graduation from the program.

It is perfectly fine to apply to the honors program, take the course you are interested in, and then leave the program. Of course, we do hope that you will stay in the program to make use of the benefits of graduation.
