Honors Programs

The School of Environmental and Biological Sciences offers two schoolwide honors programs:

1. The General Honors Program is a four-year program for which university Merit Scholars and selected high school seniors (with secondary school grade-point averages of at least 3.5 and superior SAT scores) who apply to the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences prior to the application deadline are invited to compete. Students who join the program are awarded supplementary merit scholarships. There are approximately 80 students in the program.

2. The George H. Cook Scholars Program is the senior honors thesis program of the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences. Students in the top 15 percent of their class in the fall semester of the junior year are automatically invited to participate, but juniors in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences who are nominated by a faculty member may join the program in their final three semesters.

Additionally, several departments offer honors in the major program of study to students who fulfill department requirements, which typically include honors courses and/or independent research projects.
