Honors Program

The Chattanooga State Honors Program provides an enriched curriculum and educational experiences for motivated students. Members of the Honors Program work with Alpha Beta Mu, the college chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, as a part of Chattanooga State’s Scholars on the River. Together the students participate in enrichment activities as well as college and community service.

The program is designed for students who desire to maximize their learning experience. Students admitted to the Honors Program may be eligible for in-state tuition rates.

The Honors Program is open to students who meet at least one of the following criteria:

• ACT composite score of 25 or higher
• SAT score of 1130-1160
• High school GPA of 3.50 or higher
• GPA of 3.50 or higher based on a minimum of 12 hours of college level courses

Upon the recommendation of a faculty member, exceptional students who do not meet the above criteria may be admitted into the program after approval by the Honors Program Director.

Students must maintain a cumulative college level GPA of 3.25 or higher to maintain good standing in the Honors Program.

Honors courses are identified by grade mode.
