MURFREESBORO, NC – The newest class of Honors College students at Chowan University was formally inducted on Sunday, September 18th. Proud parents along with University Faculty and Staff gathered together in Vaughan Auditorium to celebrate the achievement of 58 students. Dr. Brenda Tinkham, Associate Provost for External Relations, served as the keynote speaker.

Chowan University’s Honors College is a curriculum designed for talented and extremely motivated students who want to gain the most from their college experience. Honors courses are specially designed to develop students’ writing and discussion skills and their ability to think critically beyond the norm. Honors College students have the opportunity to attend cultural events, take field trips and build social responsibility through community service.

The Honors College Committee will normally consider for acceptance into the program any freshman who enters college with at least a 3.25 high school grade point average and a 1100 or higher SAT score. Transfer students and Chowan rising sophomores must have earned at least a 3.50 GPA and a B in English composition.
