Vanderbilt University Admissions
School of Engineering / Honors

Honors Program allow selected undergraduate students to develop individually through independent study and research. Requirements vary somewhat but, in general, to qualify for consideration an engineering student should have:

  • Completed the technical course requirements of the first two years
  • Attained a minimum grade average of 3.2 in all work taken for credit
  • Shown evidence indicating a capacity for independent study and/or research

Formal admission is by election of the department concerned.  Once admitted, candidates remain in the program only if they maintain a 3.2 or higher grade average. Accepted candidates normally begin honors study in the junior year, but exemptions may be made for outstanding seniors. Successful candidates are awarded Honors in their area of interest.
