Joining the University Honors College

The University Honors College welcomes applications from current CSUSB students who have at least 2 years of study left at CSUSB. The reason for that cutoff is due to our curriculum, which requires students to spend at least 4 semesters taking a couple upper division GE courses and two 1-unit research workshops that support our students as they work on their honors theses. 

Joining the University Honors College may require you to tweak your MyCAP so that we can place you in our Honors courses, but our staff is here to help you with that when you are accepted. 

Program Admission 

Applications require the following:

  • Unofficial transcript
  • Two short questions about leadership and volunteer activities

Admission Requirements: Overall, GPA ≥3.3

Applications are paused for Fall 2025 start. Please check back in spring.
