| Description: |
An application form is now available for students who wish to join the University Honors Program on the basis of their grades at the end of the
Fall 2009 semester.
Admission is restricted to students who will have earned 40 OR FEWER university credits by the end of the semester, including transfer credits, AP test credits, and Fall 2009 courses in progress. Space in the Honors Program is extremely limited, so we will be able to accept only those applicants with the highest UMD GPAs. Decisions will be made after Fall 2009 final grades are posted in late December. APPLICATIONS ARE DUE ON TUES. DEC. 8. Membership in the University Honors Program is open to students from all colleges and majors. Students who fulfill the requirements of the Honors Program graduate as Commonwealth Scholars, a statewide recognition of exceptional academic achievement. The Commonwealth Scholar honor is bestowed upon graduating seniors at the annual Honors Convocation ceremony in May, and is inscribed on the student's diploma and transcript. In order to graduate as a Commonwealth Scholar, a student must: - maintain an overall university GPA of 3.2 or higher - complete at least 15 credits of Honors course work with a grade of B or higher in each course - complete an original thesis or artistic composition under faculty supervision, for which the student earns at least three credits, and - make a public presentation of his or her Honors project in an appropriate venue, such as a thesis defense, artistic performance, or conference poster presentation. The application form and more information about the program requirements are available on the Honors Program website: http://www.umassd.edu/specialprograms/honors/welcome.cfm For more information, contact Cindy Pisapia at 999-8820, or visit the Honors Center in the University Library, Room 402. |
