Bloomsburg Univeristy Honors Program

Requirements

Completing the University Composition Requirement

Any student with a Verbal SAT score of 560 or less will not be invited to take the Composition placement test.
Students in this category will automatically be placed into Composition 1 sections by the Registrar.
Students with a Verbal SAT score of above 560 will be invited to take the Composition placement test unless the student received a 3 or higher on the appropriate Advanced Placement test.
The registrar will place students with AP credit into a disciplinary composition course after they complete all the necessary prerequisites.
As results of placement tests are obtained, Honors students will:
be placed into a disciplinary composition course if they receive a passing score.
be placed into other Composition 1 course. Students will take their disciplinary composition course after completing this course.

Honors Program Requirements

The Honors seminar portion is 15 credits. Each student takes at least one course in each of the three major general education areas, a course addressing a specific requirement, and an additional general or specific course. The last three courses complete the research requirement. Students typically begin this second semester sophomore year or first semester junior year. Independent study course numbers are department/college specific and are listed elsewhere.

The Honors Office maintains a record of student progress in the student's file. Students are encouraged to review their files. This tracking sheet allows for periodic review by the director. Students will be advised of their status in meeting the requirements of the Program, along with recommendations, at the end of each semester. Students failing to make appropriate progress will be advised as to their options for getting back on track. Students who do not respond or who will not be able to complete the Program, will be dismissed.
