The Honors College provides talented and motivated undergraduate students with unique service and learning opportunities. The College offers students an enriched, interdisciplinary general education curriculum, research and fieldwork focused seminars and colloquia, close contact with faculty and other students, support when applying for major scholarships and fellowships, service and social activities, and opportunities for national and international travel and study.

Membership in the Honors College is open to undergraduate students in any of Chicago State University’s degree-granting majors and professional programs. Students can apply to the Honors College as entering freshman (first-year students) or as entering transfer or current Chicago State students. Students who apply to the Honors College as entering freshman (first-year students) should have a high school GPA of 3.5 or above. Applicants who have taken high school AP classes and who have a record of community service are favored. Transfer students or current Chicago State students who apply to the Honors College should have a cumulative college GPA of 3.35 or higher. All students who apply to the Honors College will be asked to submit a writing sample and at least two letters of recommendation.

The Honors College core curriculum satisfies a portion of the university general education requirements through specially designed interdisciplinary courses. Students complete the remainder of their university general education requirements through standard general education coursework. Some colleges or degree programs may have general education requirements in addition to those fulfilled by the Honors College core curriculum and the university general education curriculum. More information can be found under the appropriate college sections in this catalog.
