Graduate Honors Program
How do I successfully complete the honors program?
To graduate with an Honors Program designation on the diploma and transcript, Honors Program students must have been accepted to the program, must take at least 15 honors credits, either through honors contracts or honors classes, and graduate with at least a 3.30 cumulative GPA, excluding learning support classes.
Students must earn a grade of B or better in honors courses in order to receive honors credit. Students working on an Honors contract must earn a B or better in the course and a B or better on the honors portion of the contract, as determined by the course instructor, to receive honors credit for the course.
