Honors

The Commonwealth Honors College provides engineering students with the opportunity to participate in an “honors experience” on campus. All eligible students may apply to either the full Commonwealth Honors College curriculum (General Studies plus Advanced Scholarship) or only to the Advanced Scholarship track.  For Advanced Scholarship, Commonwealth Honors College sets the minimum criteria for Departmental Honors at a 3.400 or higher final overall GPA, and earned grades of B or higher in four departmentally-focused honors courses, including the capstone experience and its manuscript properly formatted to Commonwealth Honors College standards. Actual admissions criteria and requirements for completion of Departmental Honors vary by department.  Additional information can be found at the Commonwealth Honors College website: www.honors.umass.edu or www.honors.umass.edu/departmentalhonors
