Admission for Sophomore Year

University of Minnesota students in their freshman year, who are not currently enrolled in a collegiate Honors program or are transferring from one U of M college/campus to enroll in another U of M—Twin Cities college, may apply to the program for entry in fall semester of their sophomore year.

Admission is by application only which includes a personal statement outlining how participation in UHP fits with their future academic plans. Freshmen who apply by the April 15 priority deadline will, if accepted, be able to take advantage of Honors advising and of better Honors course availability for the fall term. Applications will be accepted until June 1.

In order to be competitive, students must have a minimum grade point average of 3.5.
