Transfer Honors Admissions

Fall 2017 Transfer Honors Seminar

If you have been accepted to 黑料社 as a sophomore or junior transfer student for the upcoming spring or fall semester, you may choose to apply to the Honors College. Students may be invited to apply to the Honors College based on their record of academic success in their previous college. They also can apply on their own. Either way, spending some time looking at the Honors website will make the process easier.

Please note that you may only apply to the Honors College as an incoming student. You will not be eligible to apply to the Honors College once you have matriculated and begun taking classes.

  • The Honors Executive Board

  • Student Success Scholars Program mentoring
  • Circle K
  • Golden Key International Honor Society
  • S.A.V.E

  • Communications

...and many more academic programs, service projects, clubs, and activities.


The Honors College was a huge success in my transition to 黑料社 College! I made so many friends within the program itself that 黑料社 turned into family.  It is a great way to give back to the community and to make friends fast as a transfer student. All the Honors professors that I met had showed a great commitment to my academic learning and personal well-being. I am sure going to miss each and every one when I graduate in May. I am sure that I will be back to visit!

I very much enjoyed Dr. Deb and Economic Well Being. I also liked that there were other transfer students in my class so we were all in the same boat as far as being new to the school and the program.
