Admission
to ENSP Honors
1.
ENSP majors are eligible to apply to the ENSP Honors program after
45 credits have been completed, typically in the fourth semester
of full-time study. Since this program requires at least a 3-semester
commitment, acceptance is not normally possible after the student
completes 75 credits. Students must have declared an area of concentration
within ENSP by the time of the Honors application.
2.
To be considered for admission, students must have a cumulative
GPA of 3.25 or higher and a 3.5 or higher in all courses required
for the ENSP core and concentration. Transfer students with equivalent
academic records, i.e., GPA and credits completed, are also eligible
to apply.
3.
Students are encouraged to read the ENSP
Honors Program Guide as soon as possible, as it describes
the admission process, required components of the application
packet (including the research proposal), program requirements,
the thesis and oral defense, and related details.
4.
A thesis advisor must have been identified and be willing to sponsor
the student and project before an application will be reviewed.
The student's thesis advisor may be his or her academic advisor,
a former or current faculty member, or other faculty member doing
research of interest to the student. Students may obtain a description
of faculty research interests in the department(s) sponsoring
the concentration, and they are encouraged to consult with faculty
members with whom they share similar academic interests. A topic
for the research project must be identified at the time of application.
5.
Acceptance into the ENSP Honors program will affect a student's
course load and selection for subsequent semesters; therefore,
students are encouraged to submit the Honors application by November
1 or April 1 to allow for its review and timely academic advising
for the following semester.
6.
Completed Honors applications are submitted to the ENSP Director.
