James Madison University

Undergraduate Program: The Honors Program

Participation: As described in the undergraduate catalog and in the Honors Program handbook, there are three general ways in which you can participate in honors work at JMU:

  • as Honors Scholars
  • through subject-area honors
  • through a senior honors project.

Honors participation is available to those students within the Computer Science program who meet the same qualifications required of any other JMU student.

Requirements: Honors Scholars participate in four years of honors study, including a six-hour senior honors project. Designation as an Honor's Scholar is by invitation and application during the senior year of high school. Being an Honors Scholar is the most comprehensive and demanding level of participation in honors work at JMU. Additional information is available from the Honors Program.
