The program director and the Honors Council reviews applications as they are received. If accepted, applicants become members of the Honors Program beginning the following semester.

Incoming Freshmen
Prospective, direct-from-high-school students must:

• Complete the Honors Program Application, including the application essay.
• Submit two letters of recommendation, preferably from individuals who can describe the student’s academic abilities. Electronic copies of the letters can be attached to the application form or sent under separate cover to honors@lourdes.edu.
• Place into college-level English and Math as determined by SAT/ACT scores or Accuplacer.
• Engage in an application interview if needed.

For best consideration for fall first-year admission, applications should be submitted by April 10.

Current or Transfer Students
Prospective current students follow the same procedure as incoming first-year students.
