General Honors in arts and sciences shall be awarded
to graduating seniors who have completed five approved courses, with
at least one course from each of the areas of mathematics, science,
humanities, and social science, and with a cumulative grade point
average of at least 3.5. Only grades of "A" and
"B" may count toward the General Honors grade point average
requirements of at least 3.5 in those five courses and students must
have an overall grade point average of 3.5. Also, only courses with
three or more hours of credit may count toward General Honors.
Students who complete a single undergraduate major may not satisfy
General Honors requirements with any course in their major field. (For
example, a student whose only major is mathematics may not use any
course carrying the MATH prefix to satisfy General Honors
requirements.)
Students who complete two or more majors may use any approved course
to satisfy General Honors requirements.
No credit toward General Honors shall be given for high school
courses, transfer courses (included AP, CLEP, Study Abroad or
substitutions) unless approved by the General Honors Committee.
Many General Honors courses have prerequisites or co-requisites. Refer
to individual course descriptions for specific details.
