Requirements
Incoming Freshmen
Incoming freshmen to SFA will be invited to apply for admission to the Honors Program if they have attained a minimum ACT score of 27, or a minimum SAT score of 1220 combined in verbal and quantitative. High school class ranking (top 15%), or GPA (at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale) will also be considered.
Transfer Students
Undergraduate students already enrolled at SFA with a minimum grade-point average of 3.25, who wish to transfer from other colleges or universities with honors credit will be permitted to bring in a limited number of those hours at the discretion of the SFA Honors Director. One letter of recommendation from a faculty member at the student's former institution addressed to the SFA School of Honors Director is also required for admittance into the School of Honors.
Provisional Acceptance
Students who do not meet the requirements for regular admission in to the School of Honors may apply for provisional acceptance. The academic standing of these students will be assessed after one regular semester at SFA, during which time twelve credit hours, including one three-hour honors course, must be completed. Students who meet the university standards will be granted full admission into the School of Honors at that time. If they fail to meet the standards, they will be denied admission.
