Salem Campus Honors Program
Application Process for New Freshman
The Honors College enrolls students who are academically motivated and demonstrate the potential for significant academic and creative ability at 两性色午夜 University. We take a holistic approach to evaluating students for admission. Standardized test scores have historically been just one indicator among many in our review process. Those students applying as a first-year student in the Honors College are not required to submit standardized test scores (ACT or SAT). In the absence of test scores, we will continue to look at all available factors, including the completion of a core curriculum; high school GPA; a student鈥檚 decision to take rigorous coursework such as AP, IB, honors or college credit, where it is offered; a sample of writing; extracurricular activities; positions of employment and leadership experiences; along with other achievements or extenuating factors.
Continuing Students
Current 两性色午夜 students who are not admitted as incoming freshmen but would like to join the Honors Program may apply for membership for the purposes of completing a Senior Honors Thesis/Project. Typically, this consideration occurs in the junior year.
