gRADUATES AND SCHOLARS<br />
The <strong>University</strong> Honors Program provides opportunities to meet the needs <strong>of</strong><br />
intellectually talented and highly motiv<strong>at</strong>ed students. At the core <strong>of</strong> the program<br />
is a series <strong>of</strong> honors classes taught by outstanding faculty, in which learning is<br />
based on personalized and group interaction, with emphasis being placed on<br />
critical thinking and effective communic<strong>at</strong>ion. Students who particip<strong>at</strong>e in the<br />
program may earn recognition in one <strong>of</strong> two forms: the Honors Certific<strong>at</strong>e, which<br />
requires hours <strong>of</strong> honors credit; or the <strong>University</strong> Honors Degree, requiring 0<br />
hours <strong>of</strong> honors credits in specified subject areas. Students may also elect to carry<br />
out individualized research, culmin<strong>at</strong>ing in the Honors Senior Thesis. Entering<br />
freshmen must have gradu<strong>at</strong>ed in the top 5 percent <strong>of</strong> their high school class or<br />
have achieved a superior score on the SAT or ACT. A . cumul<strong>at</strong>ive grade point<br />
average is the criterion for admitting current UTEP or transfer students.<br />
