First inaugurated during the 2003-2004 academic year, the W.E.B. DuBois Honors Program at Huston-Tillotson University is named for Dr. DuBois (1868-1963), a brilliant African American sociologist, historian, civil rights advocate, and intellectual of the twentieth century. Each year, the Honors Program recruits approximately 20 academically gifted first-year students whose high school accomplishments indicate their intellectual ability, level of motivation, and leadership potential. The Honors Program offers students a unique opportunity to enrich their education at Huston-Tillotson University through honors courses, specialized seminars and lectures, networking-mentorship opportunities, and cultural events.
Admission to the Honors Program follows a student’s admission to Huston-Tillotson University and is determined by scores from the SAT/ACT examinations, high school transcripts, and letters of recommendation from high school teachers. The Honors Program accepts students with the following qualifications: minimum SAT-1000; ACT-22; high school GPA- 3.5. Candidates for admission to the Honors Program are also asked to submit a short writing sample and to participate in a telephone interview.
