How do I apply? What does the committee look for in an application?
The committee is looking for students committed to academic excellence, spiritual maturity, and civic engagement. As such, the committee will look beyond just test scores when evaluating candidates for the Honors College. We are also interested in your extracurricular activities, your letters of recommendation, how you answer the essay questions and how you present yourself in the on-campus interview.
