The Honors Program welcomes applications from academically focused students who are entering the University as freshmen, have been enrolled at The University of Memphis for a semester or two, or are transferring from other colleges and universities.

Entering Freshmen
Once you have been accepted to The University of Memphis, you will automatically receive an invitation to join the Honors Program if you meet both of the following criteria:

• An ACT composite score of 27 or more (or a combined SAT score of 1200 or above)
• A 3.5 cumulative high school GPA

If you did not receive an invitation or do not meet our initial criteria, you may still apply for admission to the Honors Program. We are especially interested in highly motivated students who have taken advanced placement, accelerated, or honors courses in high school. Apply online.

Transfer Students
Transfer students interested in becoming part of The University of Memphis Honors Program must submit an application directly to the program. The Honors application is submitted in addition to the application that is submitted to the Office of Admission at The University of Memphis. To be considered for admission, transfer students must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 for freshmen and sophomores and 3.25 for upper-division students. Apply online.

Current University of Memphis Students
Current students who would like to be a part of the Honors Program are encouraged to apply after they have been at The U of M for at least a semester. Current students are eligible if they have earned an overall grade point average of 3.00 for freshmen and sophomores and 3.25 for juniors and seniors. Apply online.
