Academics

An enhanced academic curriculum includes Honors sections of core curriculum courses, enriched courses within majors, and advanced interdisciplinary courses for juniors and seniors. Reflecting the program's emphasis on research, Honors students complete a senior thesis project in their major field of study and present this work in a public forum. Honors students are also required to participate regularly in service to the University and local community. Whenever possible, this experience may be augmented through study abroad or through the Washington Semester Program.

Honors Program students are required to demonstrate regular progress toward the successful completion of 24 credits of honors course work. The 24 credits must include HONR 101 (First-Year Honors Seminar), HONR 325 (Service Learning), two honors courses in the student's major, two honors courses in the core curriculum, HONR 498 (Research Methods), and HONR 499 (Honors Senior Thesis/Project).

To maintain eligibility to continue in the Honors Program, students are expected to maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA, successfully complete an Honors course each semester, and participate throughout the year in a minimum number of community and Honors Program activities.

Any student whose GPA falls below a 3.0 GPA will be placed on probation during the next semester. If an honors student remains on probation for two consecutive semesters, he or she will be dismissed from the program. Additionally, in order to remain a member in good standing of the Honors Program, students must engage each semester in a minimum number of extracurricular activities. Failure to participate will result in dismissal from the program.
