The Maynor Honors College (MHC) at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke is designed to attract top student scholars by providing an atmosphere that is both academically and personally stimulating. The Honors College offers interdisciplinary seminars and discipline-specific honors courses taught by distinguished faculty members; these courses enhance the general education curriculum, facilitate academic and personal growth, and encourage the interdisciplinary exploration of ideas. Honors students also gain a sense of community through shared residential facilities as well as cultural and service-learning programs. The MHC helps students become independent, successful thinkers, researchers, and communicators while simultaneously preparing them to be responsible members of a global society.
Completion of the Maynor Honors College curriculum requires that students successfully complete at least 22 hours of honors credit and obtain a minimum 3.4 GPA at graduation.
Honors College students should successfully complete 18 hours of honors credit and 4 credit hours of senior project coursework (HON 4000 and 4500). Honors credit includes Honors courses (HON seminars or designated honors sections of existing courses) and Honors contract courses (maximum of 12 credit hours).
In order to remain in good standing, Honors College students must successfully complete at least one honors course each academic year until 18 hours of honors credit are earned. Requests for a waiver of this requirement can be made in writing to the Dean of the Honors College. In addition, students are required to maintain GPA requirements as noted below.
End-of-year GPA Requirements:
- First Year: 3.0
- Second Year: 3.25
- Third Year: 3.4
- Fourth Year: 3.4
Additional details regarding the Honors College curriculum and eligibility can be located on the Honors College website.
