To apply to the Honors College, submit a Kent State admission application during the fall semester of your senior year in high school. (Your application to Kent State must be completed by January 15). We also recommend that you indicate your interest in the Honors College by sending an e-mail to Dr. Deborah Craig. The Honors College will contact qualified applicants. There is no separate application to the Honors College and no additional application fee.

Admitted students have these minimum credentials:

Scholarship recipients need

• a 3.8 GPA
• and a 28 ACT composite (1250 SAT total on Reading and Math).

Each applicant is automatically evaluated for scholarship eligibility. If you think that your transcript does not adequately reflect your abilities, we invite you to write a brief essay of explanation. If you don’t qualify to join the Honors College as an entering freshman, you may apply to join after one semester of college coursework with a 3.3 or higher GPA.
