University Honors Program Requirements

During their UA careers, UHP students must earn at least 18 hours of non-pass/fail honors credit, including at least 6 hours in non- pass/fail University Honors (UH) offerings at the 100, 200, or 300 level (PHL 202 Honors Introductory Ethics counts as a UH course). Participants must maintain an overall GPA of at least 3.3 for their work at The University of Alabama and must complete the UHP’s 18-hour requirement at the same rate they complete the UA hours required for graduation. For example, a UHP student who has completed half the UA hours required for graduation must have completed a minimum of 9 honors hours. Honors course sections are offered in many disciplines, and honors programs for juniors and seniors exist in many areas. Hours in all of these count toward the 18. CBH 101-102 and IHP 105/155 will count toward the 18, but further work in these honors programs will not.
