University Honors Program
Graduates, Candidates, and Scholars
The University Honors Program provides opportunities to meet the needs of
intellectually talented and highly motivated students. At the core of the program is
a series of honors classes taught by outstanding faculty, in which learning is based
on personalized and group interaction, with emphasis being placed on critical
thinking and effective communication. Students who participate in the program
may earn recognition in one of two forms: the Honors Certificate, which requires
18 hours of honors credit; or the University Honors Degree, requiring 30 hours
of honors credits in specified subject areas. Students may also elect to carry out
individualized research, culminating in the Honors Senior Thesis. Entering freshmen
must have graduated in the top 15 percent of their high school class or have
achieved a superior score on the SAT or ACT. A 3.3 cumulative grade point average is
the criterion for admitting current UTEP or transfer students.

Houston Endowment Scholars, 2012-2013
The Houston Endowment Honors program and Houston Endowment
Professional and Leadership Development Fund play a vital role in
establishing a solid academic and personal development foundation for
many UTEP men and women. Recipients of the highly competitive Houston
Endowment scholarship award represent UTEP and the University Honors
Program in academic, leadership and professional development opportunities
on campus, regionally, nationally and abroad. Additionally, Houston
Endowment scholars consistently achieve great academic success, earning one
or more honors recognitions upon graduation. Houston Endowment scholars
also demonstrate above average leadership and assist as student ambassadors
for the University Honors Program.

A Centennial Celebration
37
You are a Part of the UTEP Legacy
In 2014, The University of Texas at El Paso will celebrate its 100th
birthday. As a 2013 UTEP alum-to-be, you are part of a very special
group of students who have attended UTEP during its first century.
You are part of the legacy that began in September 1914 when the
Texas State School of Mines and Metallurgy opened and 27 students
enrolled. Since then, the University’s name has changed several
times, the physical campus and student enrollment have grown, the
demographics have changed, the degree programs have expanded
and the University’s reputation and impact have grown around the
globe. But UTEP’s goal has not changed: to provide access to excellent
educational opportunities to all students.
As we prepare to start the University’s second century in 2014, we hope
you will be a part of the Centennial celebrations that have already
begun and will continue through 2014.
