Honors Program
|
The GSW Honors Program offers exceptionally talented and motivated students an enriched environment for learning. Among its objectives, the Honors Program aims to promote life-long learning, to assist and guide students interested in graduate studies, and to encourage a studies abroad experience. The Honors Program also attempts to enhance the education of its students by offering opportunities for collaboration with student chosen faculty in a specific discipline.
First-year students are admitted to the University Honors Program by invitation. Each year, the Honors Program Committee extends invitations to 20-25 students based on SAT scores, high school GPA and recommendations. Transfer students and students already enrolled at GSW may seek admission to the program by contacting the Honors Coordinator at 229-928-1361. |

Students take several one-hour honors seminars. These seminars allow students to consider such topics as the American Prisoner of War experience, the Holocaust and creative writing. They also complete service projects in the community.
Students are encouraged to participate in study abroad. GSW is affiliated with the University System of Georgia’s European Council summer study programs in London, Paris and other locations. The University has a unique arrangement with Habitat for Humanity International to complete a course by working on a building site in another country.
