All the contact information and information regarding applying for and graduating from the 荣誉项目 is on the admissions page 在这里。
In judging applications, the 荣誉项目 considers the student's high school academic record (including grades and courses taken), standardized test scores, and writing ability (as demonstrated in a brief essay on one of several assigned topics). Normally a high school grade point average of 3.50 or higher is recommended, as well as an ACT composite score of 25 or above, or SAT composite of 1200 or above. However, there are no cut-offs and students can fall above or below these average scores. We encourage all interested students to apply.
不。 Acceptance into the 荣誉项目 is not automatic and not all admitted students are awarded a scholarship. 学生必须提交荣誉申请。 The typical freshman application deadline is February 1 of each year (for new or transfer students seeking a Tuition or Housing Scholarship), but the Program offers rolling admission and a very limited number of scholarships for continuing students. All students applying to the program must submit an ACT or SAT score.
这样的面试不需要进入该计划。 However, if students are interested in the Program and would like to find out more about it, they are encouraged to visit campus after scheduling an appointment with a member of the 荣誉项目's staff. If visiting campus during the academic year, the Program can arrange for students to sit in on an Honors class. The UVU 招生 Office offers daily tours of the entire campus throughout the year.
学生被录取的通知将通过信件发送到他们的myUVU电子邮件。 That letter will detail the Honors courses students need to register for, as well as any other information regarding initial enrollment in the Program. Most students schedule a meeting with the Honors Advisor to help plan a schedule that appropriately integrates Honors alongside their other coursework. One of the benefits of being in Honors is Priority Registration (meaning students get to register as soon as registration opens), so students are encouraged to seek out their advisors prior to registration.
There are approximately 1200 students in the Program (out of a total undergraduate population of 30,000+). Approximately 150 first-year students enter the program each year.
除极少数情况外，荣誉课程的入学人数限制在15-25人。 Honors classes typically involve more discussion and less lecturing/note-taking, more critical and analytical thinking and less simple memorization, and more writing and less objective testing than regular classes. The general goals of the 荣誉项目 are to promote students’ abilities to recognize and draw interdisciplinary connections, to engage in critical thinking, to communicate effectively both orally and in writing, to promote student self-confidence and intellectual independence, to enhance students' abilities to work collaboratively with others and to enhance students' global and intercultural awareness.
是的。 The UVU 荣誉项目 requires students to take 9 credits of specialized courses: three semesters of the one-credit Honors Colloquium (HONR 100R), as well as HONR 2000: Ancient Legacies and HONR 2100: Modern Legacies. Other courses required for graduation with Honors are drawn from courses that fulfill General Education or major requirements.
学生s must complete the 荣誉项目's course requirements (determined by a student's entry point) and maintain a 3.4 cumulative GPA to graduate from Honors. 学生s who fall below a 3.4 GPA prior to graduation must participate in an Honors probation program to help repair their academic performance problems. 学生s earning a grade below B- in an Honors Core class will be required to retake the class in order to earn Honors credit.
不太可能。 Because Honors students are typically bright, mature, and well-motivated—and because the environment in Honors classes is especially conducive to learning—Honors students tend to make higher grades in their Honors classes. Each year over 90% of first-year Honors students earn a 3.0 GPA or higher. The average first-year Honors student earns a GPA of 3.5 in his/her Honors classes—and an identical 3.5 in her/his non-Honors classes.
UVU Honors students are able to graduate with two kinds of Honors: “Latin” honors such as cum laude and magna cum laude (which are based strictly on GPA); and University Honors (which are awarded by the 荣誉项目). The primary requirements for graduation from the 荣誉项目 are a university grade point average of 3.4 or above, 26–33 credits hours of Honors coursework in a range of fields (including HONR 100R, 2000, and 2100), and the completion of an Honors Thesis or Honors Project.
Honors courses tend to require more writing, critical thinking, and class participation than non-Honors courses. However, most Honors students come to appreciate and enjoy the special challenges posed by Honors courses—and take as many Honors courses as they can.
The 荣誉项目 offers a wide range of enlightenment activities, including guest speakers, discussions led by Honors faculty, informal reading, research, and service groups, and excursions off-campus to outdoor activities, museums, musical and theatrical productions, as well as other sites and events. The close relationships students form within the Program Directors, Advisor, and student Ambassadors as well as with faculty during the Honors Thesis or Project phrase, allow for insightful letters of recommendation and individualized guidance.
不。 The 荣誉项目 recommends that students take a mixture of Honors and non-Honors courses each semester.
Though they have very different personalities and academic interests, Honors faculty all enjoy working with bright and well-motivated students, prefer interactive teaching methods to traditional lecturing, and enjoy conveying the excitement of intellectual discovery to their students.
Honors students receive priority registration for both their Honors and non-Honors classes. Honors students have access to academic advising every day in the Honors suite, a place where students are warmly welcomed and encouraged to feel at home. Honors students receive personal attention and enjoy the sense of community, which are normally available only at small liberal arts colleges. For many students, these benefits ease the process of adjustment to college life.
Yes, the 荣誉项目 typically awards 106 Housing 奖学金 each academic year, which pays for about 1/2 of the rent at a local apartment complex. 学生s have private rooms in an all-Honors apartment. Honors Housing offers students a strong sense of community; 定期有娱乐、放松和社交的机会； special programs of interest to students; 驻地顾问； and an environment in which the need to study is appreciated. The mission of the Honors Housing is to create a seamless educational environment that supports the goals of the 荣誉项目.
Only students who apply for and are accepted into the 荣誉项目 are eligible for the Housing Scholarship, including non-resident students. Housing 奖学金 are awarded annually during February and March on a competitive basis to the highest-achieving applicants.
Honors students have access to special educational opportunities designed to foster their long-term intellectual and personal growth. Their participation in the Honors Program is also likely to enhance their postgraduate job prospects and/or application to graduate and professional schools. 荣誉项目 graduates from UVU have recently gone into a number of exciting post-baccalaureate endeavors. Some recent graduates are enrolled in graduate and professional programs at the University of California, Riverside, Western Washington University, Eastern Oregon University, and Arizona State University, just to name a few.
