Who is Eligible?
The Honors Program admits new, continuing, and transfer students at any time throughout the year. The minimum criteria for new and continuing/transfer students follows.
New Students
First-year students direct from high school should meet at least two of the following criteria:
- GPA of 3.25 or better in high school
- Rank in top 10 percent of the graduating class
- Score at 90th percentile on ACT (27 Composite) or SAT (1300 Verbal and Math)
We are also interested in admitting students who may not meet the minimum admission criteria but who bring some special contribution or determination to the Honors Program. Incoming students who do not meet the minimum qualifications outlined above may be asked to submit additional documentation in support of their application. Or it may be recommended that students delay admission until they have attended Wright State for one quarter and earned at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA.
Contact the Honors Program for more information.
Continuing or Transfer Students
Students who are already enrolled at Wright State or who are transferring from another university must:
- Have at least a 3.0 GPA from WSU or another institution, and
- Provide a faculty recommendation
from WSU or another institution.
Continuing and transfer students who have earned more than 45.0 credits may be asked to meet with an Honors Program staff member before being admitted.
Can Other Students Take Honors Classes?
Non-Honors students with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 may register for Honors classes on a space available basis. Contact the Honors Office for more information.
