Honors Program

For graduation with honors, a student must maintain a minimum overall grade-point average of 3.25 and of 3.5 in the major and must complete 3 additional hours by enrolling in AAAS 695. AAAS 695 is evaluated by a committee composed of the instructor plus two other faculty members approved by the chair. An affirmative recommendation by this committee is essential to graduation with honors, provided that the other requirements have been met. A student who plans to graduate with honors must file a declaration of intent form with the departmental honors coordinator, preferably during his or her junior year, but no later than at enrollment for the final undergraduate semester.

For more information, contact the Chair of the Department, Shawn Leigh Alexander at shawnalexander@ku.edu, or the Honors Coordinator, Tony Bolden at tjbolden@ku.edu.
