Entry into the Honors Program from high school requires a minimum matriculation average of 80%, with Biology 30, Chemistry 30, Physics 30, as prerequisites. A request for this privilege should be made on the Application for Admission.
Applications for entry into the Honors Physiology Program should be addressed to:
Students need not commit themselves to Honors Physiology in the first year and may register in a full course load (*30) and an appropriate selection of courses as required by the regulations of a four-year program. If a sufficiently high standard on a minimum of *30 is obtained in the first year, students may enter Honors in the second year. Students desiring to do so must submit an Application for Readmission and Internal Transfer to the Office of the Registrar and Student Awards by the application deadline.
Admission beyond first year requires a minimum GPA of 3.0 in each of the preceding Fall/Winters, a minimum grade of B in PHYSL 212 and 214 or a minimum grade of A- in PHYSL 210, and completion of a minimum of *24 in the Fall/Winter preceding transfer to the Honors program. (Certain departments require a higher GPA or specific subject requirements. See Admission Chart 7.)
Applications for transfer to Honors submitted by students who have completed the second or even third year of another program are considered, subject to the normal application deadlines.
