Honors Program

Students enrolled in the B.A. or the B.S. program may participate in the departmental Honors Program during their senior year. Acceptance into the program may be achieved through invitation by the department, nomination by a sponsoring faculty member, or self-nomination by the student. Nomination forms for the Honors Program are available in the departmental office, 109 Cooke Hall, North Campus.

Honors students must maintain a GPA of 3.25 or higher in all biological science and basic science (chemistry, physics, math) coursework. Requirements for honors also include 6 credits of Honors Research (BIO497) supervised by a member of the faculty and participation in the honors symposium to be held at the end of the senior year. Three credits of honors research may be used as electives to fulfill requirements for the B.S. degree program. The 6 credits of honors research are in addition to the 33-credit requirement for the B.A. degree. Honors are noted on transcripts as highest distinction (GPA of 3.75 to 4.0), high distinction (3.5 to 3.74), or distinction (3.2 to 3.49)
