Honors Eligibility

Any student who has earned a 3.5 cumulative Grade Point Ratio (GPR) at Texas A&M may enroll in an Honors course. 

First-semester freshmen may enroll in an Honors course if they meet either of the following criteria:

 

• Be in the top 10% of their high school graduating classes and have a combined score of at least 1250 on the verbal and math portions of the SAT (with at least 570 in both sections) or a combined score of 28 on the ACT (with 27 in English and math). 

 

OR

 

• Be a National Merit, National Achievement, or National Hispanic Scholar

 

Incoming freshmen who are from an extremely small school, who are home schooled, or who attended a school that did not rank its graduates should speak with an Honors advisor to determine eligibility. Transfer students are also handled on a case-by-case basis and must speak with an Honors Advisor.

 

These criteria apply only to the University Honors Program.  The college and departmental honors programs may have different eligibility requirements.
