an application prior to March 31.

Criteria
The Honors Program accepts a limited number of students per year and seeks a balance
in the student composition, including majors. A successful candidate will exhibit
a strong motivation for interdisciplinary studies and an enthusiastic commitment to
learning. First and foremost, a compelling essay is crucial for a successful application. Applicants
typically have a first-rate GPA and highly competitive SAT and ACT scores. Other criteria
may include outstanding leadership and/or creative achievement, community involvement
and a range of interests and experiences.
The University Honors Program best serves students who approach their education in
a mature and responsible manner. Once accepted, students are expected to be active
participants in Honors activities.
