Engineering students have the opportunity to augment their studies through participation in the Commonwealth Honors College. The Honors College offers a comprehensive academic experience which includes honors-level coursework, access to specialized programs, career and leadership development, and recognition as a Commonwealth Honors College Scholar. 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 students, 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 an honors thesis or honors project 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 in the Departmental Honors section of the Guide.
