Honors Program - Abilene Christian University

Major Spring Event: Great Plains Honors Council, April 4-5, 2008

See www.acu.edu/gphc for conference details. Over 250 honors students will attend from Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas.

We're looking for muscular minds. Over 400 ACU students take Honors Program courses. To them, learning is fun. They don't look for the path of least resistance, they look for the path to excitement and personal growth. A genius IQ is useless without personal drive.

Why you do Honors:

Creative projects: Listen to Honors students' podcasts at This I Believe
Work with big ideas. Dig deeper. Hang out with interesting people.
Get small classes with gifted Christian professors.
Early registration and honors advising.
Change lives with service-learning.

study abroad.
Toughen up for graduate school.
Learn about major fellowships. The Honors Program is the official campus contact for Rhodes, Cooke, Udall, and Goldwater scholarships.
Plus: every HP student qualifies for University Academic Scholarships.

The product of Honors is YOU--wiser, academically tougher, and more globally aware than you were before. You'll get into better graduate schools not because of a paper credential but because of the person you've become. Use Honors to build your track record and earn those great recommendation letters.

Important Notes for Honors Program Applicants

You cannot enter the Honors Program by just requesting it in your Passport (freshman orientation) application. You must send us the Honors Program Application including the Application Essay . After we read them and check your scores and grades, we will admit you to the HP.
Corollary: Your request for a fall class schedule will be held up until you finish the Honors Program application process and are accepted.
March 8 is the recommended deadline for students entering in fall. July 15 is the final deadline. Completing your application (with scores, grades, Honors Application Essay) by March 8 will help the Honors Program Advisor and your major department get you the classes you need. See Honors Admission Requirements for details.
