Entering Freshmen Candidates
The Admissions Office will
automatically notify the Honors Program Director of all first-year
freshmen and transfer students who meet the quantitative standards
for the Honors Program:
• High school GPA (3.5)
• Level of courses taken, including AP and Honors
• Class rank
• SAT/ACT score (minimum 1100/24)
• Leadership experience
• Extracurricular activities
• Application essay
The Admissions Office also asks those qualifying students to
complete an initial Honors application. The applications are
forwarded to the Honors Program Director. The students are
encouraged to register for the Honors designated ENGL 1301 class.
This class is designed to prepare students for the rigorous reading,
writing, research, and presentations that are required in Honors
courses. The students also become part of the Scholars Learning
Community, a community that will bring entering students together
with Honors students and that will offer special events designed to
prepare prospective Honors students for the Honors Program.
During spring semester of freshmen year, those students who have
maintained the required 3.5 GPA will be invited to register for
their first honors seminar, IDST 1105, that is offered Fall
semester.
Current Students and Transfer Candidates
Each spring, the Honors Program invites current students who have
proven to be aggressive learners and who have yet to complete four
consecutive, full-time semesters at Schreiner College to be
considered for admission into Honors.
Current students and transfer students are invited to become Honors
candidates based on the following criteria:
• Cumulative GPA
• Leadership experience
• Application essay
• Interview with Honors Faculty Committee |
At the end of their fall semester, entering students and current
Schreiner students who desire to become Honors Program members and
who fulfill the expectations of Honors students will be nominated,
by full faculty vote, for formal induction into the program during
its annual ceremony.
Honoring Senior Scholars
A central part of the Induction Ceremony includes the Honors
Program's gift of specially-designed Honors rings to each graduating
senior.
