荣誉项目 Requirements
平均绩点
In order to graduate with Honors, you must maintain a cumulative 平均绩点 of at least 3.5. We look at 平均绩点s at the conclusion of each spring semester. If your 平均绩点 is below 3.5 you can petition to remain in the program and explain if t在这里 were reasons why your 平均绩点 dropped, as well as how you plan to raise it. We have found from prior experience that students who drop below a 3.5 are often better served to focus on the requirements of their major first and foremost.
General Course Requirements
Honors courses are designed to provide you with a qualitatively different experience from regular university courses. 换句话说, students in honors courses are not expected to do more work but to do work of a different nature. Honors courses challenge students to think at a more complex level about issues and ideas, to be more independent and creative in their approach to learning, and to be more actively involved in the learning process.
