Eligibility

Students have to meet one of the following criteria to become an MC Honors student:

• Completion of at least 12 MC credits with a GPA of 3.4 or higher in transfer-level classes, including ENGL 101 orENGL101/011with a grade of A or B
• SAT scores of 600 on each section and a minimum high school GPA of 3.5, unweighted
• Eligibility for ENGL 102, as determined by the MC placement process, and a minimum high school GPA of 3.5, unweighted

Students who are applying from high school or who are new to the school should contact an honors counselor.

The recent changes in the GPA requirements to graduate with honors instituted by Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC) raised the qualifying cumulative GPA to 3.5. Our honors program has always been committed to helping students develop as scholars. The mission has not changed, but the GPA eligibility requirement needs to align more closely to state standards. Several honors programs and initiatives already require more than a 3.2 – Macklin Scholars 3.5, STEM Scholars 3.4, and the Paul Peck Humanities Institute Honors Internships a 3.4.

CURRENT AND NEW STUDENTS:
Effective June 1, 2020, the cumulative GPA required to take any honors course will be 3.4. New students applying to take an honors course in the fall (aside from those who have been grandfathered in through a program listed below) will have to meet the 3.4 requirement.

MACKLIN SCHOLARS, MONTGOMERY SCHOLARS, AND RENAISSANCE SCHOLARS:
Current students in the Montgomery Scholars and Renaissance Scholars who were accepted into these programs before June 1, 2020 will be grandfathered in with the requirement of 3.2 or above (which was the required GPA at their time of admission).

Honors Transfer Agreements

Having challenged themselves, MC Honors students find bright futures ahead. MC Honors students have transferred to distinguished schools including Boston University, Cornell University, New York University, and many others. We also have an honors-to-honors transfer agreement with Dickinson College, meaning that MC Honors students have the opportunity to transfer to Dickinson as honors students.
