Special academic work leading to a student being designated as a Departmental Honors Scholar is available in all academic departments or schools in the University. Though the criteria for becoming a Departmental Honors Scholar vary from one department or school to another, all students who wish to receive Departmental Honors must be a member in good standing of the Honors Program. Criteria for this designation are available from the web site, in the Honors Program Office or from department offices.
Students must be in good standing with the Honors Program in order to earn Honors Program designations, which includes fulfilling participation requirements. You must complete 3 hours of Honors credit each semester you are in the program, including the semester in which you will graduate. The only exceptions to the Honors participation requirement are: student teaching, study abroad, National Student Exchange, full-time internships or co-op experiences, or if you have completed 24 hours of honors credit.
Students working towards Departmental Honors must inform the Honors Program early in the semester of graduation that they are intending to graduate with Departmental Honors by completing the Designation Application (pdf) . This is the same form for other Honors designations and only needs to be filled out once.
*This designation is indicated on student diplomas and transcripts.
