Coursework Requirements
To graduate with University Honors, students must earn 21 honors points. Here’s how it works:
- At least 9 honors points must come from Designated Honor Sections (e.g., 120.08H), H-Options, or Honor Classes (e.g., HONORS 296).
- The remaining 12 points can be earned through any combination of Designated Honor Sections, H-Options, Honor Classes, or Exchange Honors Points.
Key Notes:
- Grade Requirement: To earn Honors credit in a specific course—whether a designated Honors course or through an H-Option contract—students must achieve at least a B (not a B-) in the course.
- Credit-to-Point Conversion: Each credit in an Honors Class, H-Option, etc., equals one honors point. For example, completing 120.08H provides 3 credits toward your degree and 3 honors points toward your Honors Program graduation.
- GPA Requirement: To stay in the Honors Program and graduate with University Honors, students must maintain a cumulative UWW GPA of 3.4.
Whether you’re diving into stimulating courses or designing your own H-Option projects, every point earned brings you closer to completing this prestigious academic achievement!
