The University Honors Program (UHP) provides students with a small cohort learning community, honors courses and experiences, and individual advising. A student must be a part of the University Honors Program in order to graduate from the U of M with Latin honors. 

If you plan to graduate early from the U of MN and are invited to UHP, check with them to see if there is enough time before you graduate to complete the honors experience requirements.

Admission

• • Every freshman that applies to the U of M is evaluated for admission to UHP. Invitations to join are sent to the most competitive applicants from each college by the end of March of their senior year.

  • Students that aren't admitted through the freshman invitation can apply the following year. 

Academics

• • Seats in honors courses are reserved for students admitted into the University Honors Program (UHP). Rarely, PSEO students may request permission into these courses on a space-available basis.

  • PSEO students must follow a PSEO-specific procedure to access an honors course. Complete the Request to Enroll in an Honors Course form to begin the process. DO NOT contact the instructor or department for permission.

  • Note: PSEO students are not allowed in HSEM-designated courses; no exceptions.
