Special Programs: Honors

Academic Honors
To be eligible for Dean's List honors, students must have a 3.5 GPA or higher at the regularly scheduled time for posting final grades at each semester's end and receive credit for at least twelve semester hours work during the semester. Students otherwise on academic probation are ineligible. Beginnig in the Spring of 2006, students with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 will graduate cum laude; those who have a cumulative GPA of 3.75 will graduate magna cum laude; those who have cumulative GPA of 3.90 will receive their degrees summa cum laude. Those students earning credits at other institutions are eligible for these awards if both the Lambuth GPA and the overall GPA meet the requirements for honors at Lambuth.

University Honors Program
The Lambuth University Honors Program is a three semester sequence of courses designed to offer excellent students an opportunity to study with selected faculty and entertain more in-depth study of classic literature and themes. Various topics are considered including art, psychology, ecology, history, ethics, politics, science, sociology, business, religion, and literature.

To be eligible for the program, entering freshman must have a minimum ACT score of 26 and a 3.0 grade point average. Transfer students and current Lambuth students will be considered if they have at least a 3.0 grade point average and the recommendation of two faculty members.

Students completing the three-semester, nine hour sequence in honors are exempt from the writing requirement (excluding JRS 3003W) and the upper-level English requirement of the Lambuth core.  Grades of "D" or below in honors courses must be repeated with a "C" or better in order to become an honors graduate.

Students satisfactorily completing this nine-semester hour program will be gradated with University Honors.
