Freshmen entering the University of Oklahoma are eligible to apply to the Honors Curriculum if a) they have a Composite ACT of 29 or higher or they have a SAT Total of 1280 or higher and b) they rank among the top 10% of graduates in their high school class or have a high school grade point average of 3.75.

Transfer students who enroll at the University of Oklahoma with fifteen or more college credit hours with a cumulative grade point average of 3.40 or higher are eligible to apply.

Students new to OU must be fully admitted to OU before their Honors Curriculum Application will be processed.

All OU students who have earned 15 or more hours of OU credit hours with a grade point average of 3.40 or higher are eligible to apply to the OU Honors Curriculum.

Final admission into the Honors Curriculum is determined by evaluation of this application which includes a written essay of 400-500 words. The essay is an essential component of the admission decision. The Director reserves the right to deny admission to any student who does not exhibit strong writing skills, who seems otherwise unprepared for the honors curriculum, or who does not exhibit the motivation to pursue an honors degree designation.

The OU Honors Curriculum is a curricular program for students who desire access to the small honors courses and who wish to pursue the cum laude degree designation. The Honors Curriculum is independent of any talent-based scholarship program at OU such as the National Scholars Program, the OU SCHOLARS Program, or President's Leadership Class. Your decision to apply for the Honors Curriculum in no way influences your eligibility for these scholarships.

University Housing will assign students to Honors House who have indicated Honors House as their first choice on the University Housing application only after they are posted as Honors Curriculum members on the student database.

*recentered; old SAT would be 1150.
