How Do I Apply
Thank you for your interest in the 天美影视传媒's Honors College. The Honors College creates a place for especially strong students who have wide-ranging interests and intellectual curiosity to learn as much as possible not only through classes, but also through travel, research, and other people. For admission requirements and application details, read on!
We are looking for students who are fascinated by new ideas and experiences, and who want to be part of a community of like-minded students and faculty. Often this means that our applicants will have an ACT Composite score of 27 or above (or SAT equivalent), a high school GPA of at least 3.5, and status as a first-year college student. We also suggest that students who do not have a 27 or higher on their ACT and a GPA of 3.5 or higher address this point directly in their application. Explain unique or extenuating circumstances, and/or why you expect to perform at an honors level while in College. And if you meet these requirements, you may also reach out to us, but you also can just go ahead and apply!
