Honors Program

The Honors Program at UWMC is designed to provide a challenging and exciting alternative in undergraduate education.

Honors courses typically take the formal portion of a University curriculum and expand upon presented ideas and concepts. This provides an opportunity for enhanced knowledge and understanding through research, creative thought, and independent learning.

Honors students benefit from the close interaction with their professors, share many similar goals for their educational
attainment and fulfillment, and often benefit from collaboration with other Honors students.

Students in the Honors Program may take as many or as few Honors credits as they desire. Those who qualify are encouraged to
take at least one Honors course each semester.

Who Qualifies:
• Students who graduate in the top 15 percent of their high school class
• Students who achieve a 3.5 grade point average or better after at least one semester of a university education
• Students with an ACT score of 27 or higher or combined SAT score of 1220 or higher
• Students who receive recommendations to attend Honors courses
