To be a part of an honors college there are the obvious requirements like course difficulty, maintaining a high GPA, and studying abroad. Having a GPA of at least 3.25, taking eight honors courses, and studying abroad at least one time are all requirements of the Cormier Honors College. The standards are high because the Cormier Honors College staff wants their members to achieve excellence. The staff pushes us to be the best we can be because they want to prepare us for the “real world.” Making each and every person work hard for what they want teaches many lessons, and will allow us to appreciate what we have earned.
