In addition to university honors, departments may also award honors to their graduating students. Graduating students in Continuing Education can receive these honors from the college that has jurisdiction over their major. Faculty members in the student’s major or interdisciplinary committees may recommend their graduates for honors to recognize outstanding achievement in their field.
To qualify for such honors, graduates must complete a minimum of 24 credits in their major at the university and fulfill any honors requirements as specified by colleges, departments or interdisciplinary committees in their field. To receive honors, a student must have a 3.25 to 3.99 grade point average in all major courses taken at the university with no grade lower than a B. For high honors, students must have a 4.0 grade point average in all courses taken in their major at the university.
