Honors College

Open for Fall 2023 Incoming Freshmen ONLY
The Honors College is a selective academic community of about 500 students who represent a diversity of majors and interests but share a commitment to intellectual inquiry and the life of the mind. As a member of the Honors College, you’ll have the best of both worlds: a small liberal arts college experience at a first-class research university.

In reviewing applications, the Honors College places special emphasis on the written material submitted. The strength of the high school curriculum, GPA and standardized test scores are also very important.

  • Freshmen who wish to apply to the Honors College should have a high school GPA of 3.5 or better and good standardized test scores.
  • Successful applicants for Fall 2019 had an average of 1400 on the SAT and an average of over 30 on the ACT.
