Eligibility

First-semester freshmen are eligible to participate in the Interactive Information Technology Honors Program if they were (a) awarded a University of Hartford President’s or Regents’ Scholarship or (b) have a combined SAT score of at least 1200.

Transfer students who earned an overall G.P.A. of 3.25 or higher at their previous institution are eligible to participate. All other students who have an overall G.P.A. of at least 3.0 are eligible to participate in the program.

Interactive Information Technology Requirements for the Honors Degree

For a student enrolled in the Interactive Information Technology or a student matriculated in another college, but planning to earn the University Honors degree, the requirements below must be met to earn the designation of University Honors on the diploma:

An Interactive Information Technology Student must have an overall Grade Point Average of 3.25 and a 3.0 in Honors course work.

An Interactive Information Technology Student must have at least 18 credits of Honors work including:

6-9 credits of Honors sections of General Education (e.g., an Honors section of RLC 110, Pol 100, Phil 110) or honors sections of All-University Curriculum (AUC) courses or “contract Honors” courses (described on page 10 of the “Overview of the Honors Program”).

6 credits of Honors seminars (specially designed 300-level courses listed in the Honors section of the schedule of classes). Two or three seminars are offered on varied topics each semester. Students in the natural sciences may substitute a 300- or 400-level “contract Honors” course for one of the seminars. In extraordinary circumstances only, and with the permission of the College’s Honors Committee, other students may make such a substitution.

A 6-credit Honors thesis (HON 493 Honors Research and HON 494 Honors Thesis) or a 6-credit University Scholar independent project (see pages 8 and 9 of the “Overview of the Honors Program”).

Suggested Timetable

Freshman Year: Take one or two Honors sections of General Education or AUC courses (3-6 credits).

Sophomore Year: Take one Honors section of General Education or AUC courses if you did not take two in the freshmen year (3 credits) or take one Honors seminar (3 credits) to count as an elective. If an Honors seminar can count toward your major, that will be indicated in the course description in the schedule of classes.

Junior Year: Take your second or both of the Honors seminars (3-6 credits). In the spring, decide if you want to do an Honors thesis or University Scholar project. Select a topic and find a faculty member who will direct your thesis/project.

Senior Year: Take HON 493 (3 credits - fall) and HON 494 (3 credits - spring). These are the course numbers you sign up for to do either the Honors thesis or the University Scholars project.

Total: 18 credits
