Embrace the Challenge

The mission of the Honors Program is to create an intensive learning community that will foster academic excellence, encourage civic action, and inspire the University’s top students to become strong leaders on campus and in our community.




Honors Admissions

Honors students will enter the program in one of two ways:

  1. Recruitment by the Honors Program Committee

  2. Applying for admission to the Program

The Honors application can be found here. Completed forms must be returned to Dr. Howe in Building 41, Room 400-16 or sent as an attachment to honors@udc.edu.

To be considered for the program, students must have a high school or transfer GPA of 3.5 or higher. Due to the Program’s additional course load, only Freshmen and Sophomores will be considered for admittance.

Additionally, before officially entering Honors, all students must complete an interview with an Honors faculty member and provide a writing sample.
