Despite the 35,000 student en-
ollment at Texas A&M Universi-
individual attention is still
ivailable — even in the usually
rowded freshman level courses,
is is one advantage of the hou
rs program.
The University Honors Prog
am provides special educational
ipportunities to undergraduates
vho have superior academic abil-
ty and motivation. The program
ncludes honors courses, an

•ne advantage of parti-
ipatingin the University
ionors Program is that

hsses.
high school enrichment prog
am for local high school students,
’articipation in any of the compo-
lents of the program is open to
tudents in all courses of study.
Certain courses and sections
redesignated as honors courses,
fhese may be taken by qualified
tudents in any major. A student
in the program may enroll in as
many or as few honors courses as
desired, on a semester-by
semester basis.
The courses are designed for
students interested in subject
material which is broader and
deeper than that of regular clas
ses. Students work harder than in
non-honors classes, but don’t have
to worry as much about grades. A s
and B’s are usually dominant in
honors courses.
The courses offered vary each
semester but certain freshman
and upper-level courses are al
ways offered. These classes are
biology, business, chemistry, eco
nomics, English, environmental
design, history, math, modem
language, physics and political sci
ence.
One advantage of participating
in the UHP is that sections are
smaller than those in non-honors
classes. This offers increased
opportunities for interaction be
tween the instmetors and stu
dents. Students experience grea
ter challenges with a minimum of
extra demanded time.
Students in the program must
maintain at least a 3.0 grade point
ratio. The appropriate academic
dean and the director of UHP, Dr.
B.L. Shapiro, must approve all
students wishing to participate in
the program.

quarters or lower must have a
minimum SAT score of 1,200.
The undergraduate fellows
program enables qualified seniors
to substitute up to six credit hours
to pursue research under the gui
dance of a faculty adviser. Any stu
dent with an overall GPR of 3.5
during the second semester of his
junior year is eligible.
The High School Enrichment
Program allows outstanding local
high school students to take
courses at Texas A&M for high
school credit. This should prepare
a student for advanced placement
in college. The normal course load
for a new participant is one course
per semester; however, this may
be increased if the student is suc
cessful in the program.
A high school student must be
classified as a junior or senior with
an average of 90 and a minimum
SAT score of 1,100 to be eligible.
Shapiro said about 800 honor
students are expected to partici
pate in the program this fall.
Currently enrolled students
who have an overall 3.0 GPR qual
ify for honors courses. No special
recommendations are required,
and students may go through
drop/add during the first week of
classes in order to add honors
courses, provided desired sec
tions are not full.
