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
