Honors Requirements
From the Class of 2021 handbook…
“All CHC students must complete a minimum of eight Honors classes, including at least three at the 300-level or above. To facilitate completion of the course requirements, at least three or four Honors classes should be General Education Goal courses. All first-year CHC students must complete Honors Longwood Seminar (LSEM 100). Students entering the CHC after the first semester must complete Fundamentals of Citizen Leadership (HONS 202) or another approved Honors Seminar course. Additionally, all CHC students must complete Goal 13 by taking an Honors section of ENGL 400 or GNED 400.”
“All CHC students are required to have a fully developed, professional e-portfolio by the end of the senior year. Each CHC student will create a unique e-portfolio during his/her first semester in the Honors College.”
“CHC students are required to complete a credit-bearing study-abroad experience of at least two weeks’ duration. A semester abroad is highly recommended. Students are encouraged to study abroad early in their academic career and should work with the CHC staff and the Office of International Affairs to identify potential programs.”
“All students must maintain a 3.25 GPA in Honors coursework and overall.”
“Students successfully completing all Honors College requirements will graduate cum honore. Students also may earn additional honors at graduation for achievement of the final GPA, to wit: Cum Laude: 3.35-3.54, Magna Cum Laude: 3.55-3.74, [or] Summa Cum Laude: 3.75-4.0″
