BECOME A FRANKE HONORS WILDCAT
If you are a current Arizona undergraduate student not currently in the W.A. Franke Honors College, you can still apply for honors admission. Before you apply, you need to attend an in-person or virtual info session. There are several sessions offered in spring and fall.
Interested in applying?
To be eligible to apply to the Franke Honors College, you must:
- Be a currently enrolled as a main campus University of Arizona student.
- Attend an information session (you will receive a link to the application after attending the session).
- Have at least three semesters remaining before graduation.
- Have a minimum 3.4 cumulative U of A GPA to gain formal admission.
- If you do not have a current U of A GPA (this is your first semester at U of A) you may still apply. Your formal admission is contingent on earning a 3.4 minimum GPA.
Admission decisions are made on a rolling basis throughout the semester. Applying early gives you the advantage of finding out your admission status sooner, so you can plan your next semester and include Honors units in your schedule.
Admission decisions will be made on a rolling basis, but your formal admission will be contingent on earning a cumulative U of A 3.4 GPA or higher at the end of the semester you apply.
How Are Applications Reviewed?
Applications are reviewed holistically by the Franke Honors College and are evaluated on:
- Academic performance to date
- Vision for making the most of your time in Franke Honors
- Plan for completing Honors graduation requirements
