Honors sections
Introduction:
The Honors College provides special opportunities for
undergraduate students who demonstrate the highest levels of curiosity,
creativity, and academic achievement. Honors courses and discipline-specific
advising are offered in departments. The Honors College is responsible for a
variety of academic, social, and cultural activities and programs.
Program requirements
In order to graduate with Honors, a student must
- maintain
a 3.5 grade point average
- complete 24 units of Honors courses (12 units if
entering Honors as a junior or senior),
- complete both semesters of 498H,
Honors Senior Thesis, or departmental equivalent, and
- submit a completed
Honors Thesis to the Honors College prior to graduation.
Honors Contracts
The Honors contract enables students to earn Honors credit
in non-Honors courses. Students and Faculty design specific work that the
student will do for Honors credit. Some faculty members have established a
standard contract for their courses which has been pre-approved by the Honors
College. Students are limited to using contracts for six units of upper
division and six units of lower division credits (except for students majoring
in engineering or entering Honors as juniors or seniors). Policies, contract
forms, and more information are available on the Honors
College Home Page, under Academics, Contracts.
