Honors students must fulfill the following academic requirements . . .
Honors College students must complete the requirements of a major or major-minor combination. The Honors College, by itself, does not constitute a major or minor program, but will accompany the major degree. Central Washington University offers major degrees in more than 120 specialized fields of study. All of Central's Major Programs are compatible with the requirements of the Honors College. However, the credit requirements of a few majors may necessitate taking more than 15 credits (a student's "average" load) during some quarters, or attending college for more than the conventional 12 quarters. The Central Washington University catalog should be consulted for specific major and minor requirements.
The Honors College general education plan (substituting general university requirements) offers advancement in the liberal arts and sciences. General studies courses are in English Composition, World Civilization, Music, Art, and the Natural Sciences.
Foreign Language - Honors College applicants are normally expected to have met the competence requirements for Foreign Language prior to acceptance. Students who have not done so will be required to take classes through Foreign Language 153.
Mathematics - Honors College applicants are normally expected to have met the competence requirements for mathematics prior to acceptance. Students who have not done so will be required to complete courses through MATH 154.
Honors College faculty and students participate in a four-year course of study in the great works of literature, philosophy, politics, and the other liberal arts. This course of reading, discussing, and writing about great ideas provides an introduction to the enduring themes of human affairs, an understanding of the assumptions of the world's great societies, and a background shared by global academia. The Honors College Colloquium meetings acquaint the students and faculty with each other in an informal but intellectual atmosphere. The Honors College Lecture accompanies the Colloquium and provides biographical and historical background to the works read in the Colloquium.

As a final project of the curriculum, Honors College students submit a senior thesis paper prepared under the supervision of their Thesis Committee. Students enroll in two senior thesis courses (DHC 488, 489), which meet weekly to guide the research and writing of the thesis, and present their work in progress to a larger audience. Upon completion, the thesis is presented to the campus community at a Senior Presentation. All students must follow the senior thesis guidelines and submission requirements.
Thesis Guidelines
Senior Presentation - The quarter in which they enroll for DHC 489, students shall make a formal presentation of their research results to the campus community.
A student is in good standing when the cumulative grade-point average (GPA) is 3.0 or higher. A first year student is in good standing when their cumulative GPA is 3.0 or higher by the end of their first three quarters. A student who has been in good standing will be placed on warning when the cumulative GPA has fallen below 3.0. A student who has been on warning will be placed on suspension if the cumulative GPA is below 3.0 for two quarters. The DHC Director has the discretion to waive and/or modify these standards for individual students so long as the waiver or modification does not affect the academic integrity of the DHC. Students who have been suspended from DHC may re-apply if they raise their cumulative GPA to 3.0 or higher. Re-admission is not guaranteed, however.
