Every year, approximately 340 new students enter Ball State’s most rigorous program for high-achieving scholars—the Honors College. Will you be one of them?
Admission to the Honors College is based on academic achievement and potential. Most enter the program with strong academic records and SAT/ACT scores. High school students earning an Indiana Academic Honors Diploma or completing an advanced college preparatory curriculum in another state are encouraged to apply for the Honors College. For those accepted, the Honors College will be a transformative learning experience.
Current and transfer students are also welcome to apply.
