Honors Program Ivy University is dedicated to providing the best academic environment possible. As part of the academic environment, Ivy University offers honors programs for each college. Smaller sizes and discussion oriented honors classes provide students with challenging academic course work. Admission to the honors program is granted for students with a 3.5 grade point average and at least 30 semester hours left to complete. After admittance to the program, students must maintain a 3.5 grade point average. Other requirements may be needed depending on the college. To complete the honors program, students must complete 15 honors semester hours.

Honor Societies An added bonus to Ivy University’s honors program is the numerous honors clubs and fraternities. The honors clubs and fraternities were established to help honors students. While each one is unique, they all strive to make the honors experience at Ivy University better.

Clubs Business Honors Society The Business Honors Society provides business honors students with career, academic, and social advancement opportunities. Career opportunities are developed through guest speakers and internships. Tutoring helps with the tough honors course load. Social events such as socials, road trips, and barbecues help relieve the stress of all the bookwork. Ralph Hatab 1

Honors Computer Club The Honors Computer Club was established to help support students with the vigorous and challenging course loads of honors computer classes. In addition, weekly meetings where members share technology information helps busy students keep up with the latest technology news.

Science Club of Honors The Science Club of Honors is dedicated to helping science students with their lab projects. Each science honors student is required to take 10 semester hours extra of lab time. These labs require students to conduct experiments not taught in the classes. Therefore, students can rely on other students in the Science Club for extra help and support.
