Admission Requirements for Current Student Applicants

The Honors College seeks scholars interested in research, change agents interested in engaging local and global communities, and individuals seeking to explore their curiosity and express their creativity.  All students who participate in the Honors College participate in challenging classes, engage in experiential learning activities, and complete an Honors Thesis based on research in their discipline.

To be eligible a student must have:

  • Earned at least 15 Georgia Southern hours prior to the semester in which they are to be admitted
  • Earned 65 or fewer credit hours (from any university) prior to the semester in which they are to be admitted
  • A 3.3 or higher institutional GPA
  • Reference from a Georgia Southern faculty member
  • A complete application with answers to questions about academic goals and experiential learning

Admission is competitive as we have many more strong applicants than available spaces in the Program.
