Honors Graduation Requirements

Honors Graduation Requirements

Honors Students and Honors Affiliates have different goals. While both seek the challenges of the EFSC Honors Program and access to honors classes, only those classified as “Honors Students” can receive an Honors Diploma and special recognition at graduation. Honors Affiliates do not intend to complete the requirements for an Honors Diploma. Admission requirements are the same for both designations. Honors Affiliates may decide to change their status to Honors Student at any time, but Honors Diploma requirements must be met or be in progress and communicated to the Honors Office one semester before graduation.

The requirements listed below are for new Honors Program applicants. Current Honors Program students should refer to the graduation requirements listed in the EFSC Catalog for the year in which they enrolled at EFSC.
