English Honors Program
The English department offers an honors program for serious students who enjoy doing intensive work and would like the challenge and excitement of exchanging ideas and research with fellow students and instructors in a seminar setting. Planning and writing a thesis is another opportunity the honors program offers. Students may qualify for the honors program when they are accepted into the English major if (1) they have taken at least two lower-division and two upper-division English department courses with a minimum GPA of 3.5 and (2) they submit a writing sample.
