In order to be enrolled in the honors courses, students must be admitted to the honors program. All transfer and current BVU students, having completed at least one semester of appropriate college coursework consisting of a minimum of 15 credit hours and who have achieved a 3.5 cumulative GPA may apply to the honors program. New first-year students meeting the following standards: ACT 28 or higher AND either HS rank in top 10 percent or HS GPA of 3.75 are selected into the honors program with their acceptance. New international students wishing to enroll in the honors program should see the honors program director. Continuing participation requires all honors students to maintain a 3.5 minimum cumulative GPA. Honors students whose GPAs fall below 3.5 will be placed on probationary status relative to the program for a term of one semester, after which they may be re-admitted provided their GPA returns to 3.5. Students who successfully complete the program will receive transcript recognition to that effect.

Note(s)


Students on the research track may enroll in honors Liberal Arts Core courses if they wish (and are encouraged to do so), but the “all college honors with research” designation will only appear on the transcripts of those students who have nine honors Liberal Arts Core credit hours.

Students may repeat HONR 210  or HONR 230  for general education credit Liberal Arts Core provided the repeated courses are from distinct disciplines within a given area. Students seeking to do so must complete an academic action requesting that the repeated course apply toward a specific Liberal Arts Core requirement.

6 credit hours
