Entry to the Honours Program takes place after the end of the second year (i.e., upon completion of 60 credit hours) and requires a minimum CGPA of 3.33 over the most recent 30 credit hours or permission of the School Chair. Consultation with Student Advising is highly recommended before applying. Attaining the minimum requirement does not guarantee entry to the honours program, which is at the discretion of the School Chair.

All honours students complete a thesis project (HHSC 490-6 Honours Thesis) under the direct supervision of a faculty member.
