HONORS STUDENTS
The Honors Program at Francis Marion University gives gifted students in all
majors the opportunity to work with the faculty in small and stimulating classes,
engage in interdisciplinary study that synthesizes knowledge from different
disciplines, and achieve their full intellectual potential. Participants in
the Honors Program are encouraged to take an active role in the learning process
and to be active learners, critical thinkers, and contributing members of today's
global society.
Initial eligibility for the Honors Program is determined by SAT scores. A minimum
score of 1100 on the SAT qualifies an entering student for the Honors Program.
Second-semester freshmen must earn an overall grade point average of 3.0 in
order to become or remain eligible for the Honors Program. Sophomores, juniors,

Students who have not attended continuously one or more semesters (fall or
spring) and have not attended another post-secondary institution
since leaving Francis Marion University must reapply by submitting
an application for admission, which may be obtained in the Office
of Admissions.
