Application to the Honors Program

We invite individuals to apply online to the Honors Program after they have been accepted to the university through May 1 of every year for entrance into the following fall term. Please find below links to the online applications for the Honors Program.  Be sure to use the correct application for your student status (freshman, current/transfer, international.)

 

Process

There are two parts to your application process: a resume and an essay.  Keep in mind that the application will be submitted in plain text format, so some of your text formatting (bold, bullets, tables) may not hold.  It is recommended that you save your resume and personal statement in a plain text Word document, and then copy and paste them into the application form.

  Resume:  Be sure to include your principal activities and honors in high school, including prizes, scholarships, professional or academic offices held, athletic pursuits, extracurricular interests and activities. This must not exceed two pages in length, and should be set in font no smaller than size 10 font.
     
  Essay: The essay should be no more than one typed page (11pt font, 1 inch margins) and should address ONE of the two essay prompts below:   
  1. Honors students typically are intellectually curious, are internally motivated, have broad horizons, are leaders who are interested in helping others, and possess integrity.  Please select one of the five terms below and describe why it is personally meaningful to you:  intellectual curiosity, internal motivation, broad horizons, service-leadership, integrity.
