Graduate Course EnrollmentHonors students may enroll in graduate courses, which count as Honors components of theundergraduate degree program.Enrollment PriorityHonors College members are allowed to enroll for classes on the first day of each enrollmentperiod, before most other students. This privilege allows Honors students easy access to allcourses, even those which are in high demand and normally fill up quickly.Admission to the Honors CollegeIncoming FreshmenHigh school students who apply to and are accepted at Michigan State are invited to join theHonors College if they meet the following criteria:• They are in the top 5% of their high school graduating class AND• They have either an ACT composite score of at least 30 or an SAT total score ofat least 1360 (Critical Reading and Math sections only).Those who do not meet, but come close to, these standards are screened by the Honors Collegeadmissions committee and may be asked to submit additional information before beingconsidered for Honors College membership.Current StudentsStudents who do not enter Michigan State as Honors College members may apply formembership if they achieve a grade point average of at least 3.50 at MSU. Freshmen may applyduring the second semester of their first year to be accepted as sophomores. Students may applylater, but those with fewer than four semesters remaining at MSU are normally not consideredfor membership. Meetings for prospective HC applicants are held every year at the end ofJanuary.Transfer StudentsTransfer students who have earned a grade point average of at least 3.50 at MSU may apply forHonors College membership after one semester in attendance at Michigan State.Advising in the Honors CollegeAdvising is an important aspect of the Honors College. Developing individualized programs ofstudy requires that Honors College members keep in close touch with advisers both on theHonors College staff and in their major departments. With the help and approval of theseadvisers, Honors students can take maximum advantage of the flexibility they are allowed infilling degree requirements.Departmental Honors AdvisersHonors College members who have chosen a major preference are assigned to speciallydesignated Honors advisers in their major departments. Over 200 faculty members serve asDepartmental Honors Advisers, who are responsible for approving any nonstandard courses thatHonors College members take to fill college and major requirements.Honors College students in the College of Music are advised by the Associate Dean forUndergraduate Studies. Honors College students are required to complete Academic ProgressPlans as part of their contract with the university and are notified by the Honors College when57
APPs are due. At that time students are requested to see their academic adviser and plan coursesfor the next semester/year. Please contact Bonnie Stewart (stewar27@msu.edu) to set up anadvising appointment with the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies.To graduate as a member of the Honors College, a student must complete at least eight Honorscaliberexperiences and be a member in good standing at the time of graduation. For studentscompleting a second degree, which includes completing an additional 30 credits beyond thoserequired for the first degree, two additional Honors-caliber courses are required for the secondHonors degree. Honors experiences can be Honors Courses, Honors Sections, or HonorsOptions.Honors ExperiencesHonors CoursesMany departments offer Honors courses especially for Honors College members. Often theseclasses are much smaller than their non-Honors counterparts; some are designed specifically forHonors students and have no non-Honors counterpart. Material is usually covered in greaterdepth than in non-Honors courses, and there is more classroom interaction in general. The paceis faster and more challenging, since students are surrounded by other students of the samecaliber and, often, the same interests.See the Bulletin of Course Descriptions (http://www.msu.edu/unit/honcoll/Bulletin.html) fordetails on offerings of Honors courses. (Honors courses are designated by an "H" after the coursenumber.)Honors SectionsIn some multi-section courses, one (or more) section may be designated an Honors section. LikeHonors courses, these classes are usually smaller than their non-Honors counterparts, move morebriskly, and involve more classroom interaction.See the Bulletin of Course Descriptions (http://www.msu.edu/unit/honcoll/Bulletin.html) fordetails on offerings of Honors sections.Honors OptionsA student may wish to complete an Honors Option in a class that is not already designated asHonors. An H-Option entails working with the professor to develop a project of interest to thestudent. Some common H-Options have included writing research papers, performing computersimulations, and teaching a class for one lecture period. In the College of Music, all courses areavailable as honors options. Students should consult the instructor of the course to obtainpermission to complete an honors option for that course.MUSIC EDUCATION INFORMATIONAdmission to the College of EducationTEACHER CERTIFICATION ADMISSION TO THE TEACHER CERTIFICATIONPROGRAMThe number of students admitted to the Teacher Certification Program at the junior level orabove is established by the University.
