Admission to the Honors Program

  Students applying to Louisiana Tech as freshmen who have a composite score of 26 on the ACT (or a comparable score on the SAT) and/or graduated in the top 10% of their graduating class will be eligible to enter the Honors Program. These students should request an application form, which they can fill out and send back to the Director of the Honors Program. Other students who do not meet these requirements, but who wish to join the Honors Program, will be considered on a student by student basis. Acceptance into the program will be decided on the student's previous record of academic achievement, letters of recommendation from high school teachers, advisors, or college professors, any extracurricular activities or other evidence of high achievement, and a writing sample.Students must still fulfill all the requirements of the Foundations 21 curriculum in order to receive an Honors Scholar designation on their transcript. Transfer of credits from other colleges or universities will be considered on a case by case basis. To remain in the Honors Program, a student must maintain at least a 3.3 overall GPA (after an annual review conducted in June) and remain in good standing with the college and university policies on academic conduct.

   A student who is not in the Honors Program, but has a cumulative GPA of 3.3 or higher, may enroll in honors courses or seminars with special permission from the Director of the Honors Program.
