The Scholars Program transforms students for global citizenship and individual excellence. It recognizes, supports and develops academic excellence in motivated and high performing students.
The program is an invitation-only opportunity, extended to students who have demonstrated individual excellence through outstanding academic achievement. Those with a grade point average (GPA) of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale are considered by the scholars committee for review and potential invitation to the program.
The program fosters a sense of intellectual curiosity among participants, as well as individual autonomy with regard to their coursework, co-curricular activities and career aspirations. It is integrated into the bachelor experience so that an outstanding student from any of our bachelor's degree programs (from various academic majors) who is invited can pursue the Scholars Certificate.
