Joining Auburn's Honors College as a Transfer Student

Thinking about transferring to Auburn and joining their Honors College. Does anyone know the requirements or have experiences to share? How competitive is it for transfer students to get into the Honors College?

Auburn University's Honors College is designed to provide motivated and academically talented students with instruction that enhances the undergraduate experience. To be admitted as a transfer student, there are a few things you'll need to keep in mind.

First, admission to the Honors College requires that transfer students have an overall GPA of 3.4 or higher from their previous institution. Additionally, students must have at least two full years (four semesters) of coursework remaining at Auburn after their term of entry to be eligible.

The Honors College at Auburn is quite competitive, but it is known to consider transfer students who possess exemplary academic records and a commitment to rigorous coursework. Therefore, you must demonstrate a clear dedication to your academics and the intellectual curiosity that the Honors College values.

While I don't have personal experiences to share, from what I gather, those who have joined the Honors College at Auburn find it to be an enriching experience. The small class sizes foster close connections with professors and other talented students, and there are unique enrichment activities and dedicated housing options, which students tend to enjoy.

Remember, these are just the requirements for the Honors College - to be admitted to Auburn itself as a transfer student, there are other requirements you will need to meet.

Once admitted into the Honors College, there will still be further criteria you'll need to meet to remain in good standing, such as maintaining a certain GPA and meeting various other requirements set forth by the Honors College.

I hope this helps! Feel free to reach back if you have any more questions.
