Departmental Honors Program

The Departmental Honors program is designed to challenge North Park’s most talented and motivated students to achieve at the highest level in their major fields. The requirements of this program are:

• A minimum overall GPA of 3.5 and a minimum major GPA of 3.7 for admission and retention in the program.
• A minimum of 45 and a maximum of 90 semester hours earned at the time of admission into the program.
• A grade of A or B in 3-8 semester hours of DH 4000, which requires a paper or project at honors level.
• Presentation of the DH 4000 paper or project at a Spring Honors Symposium.
• Departmental approval.

For additional requirements, specific to a particular major, see departmental descriptions. Applications for admission may be obtained from the department chair.

Each department that offers an honors option will list a course with its own prefix and the catalog number 4000.
