The University Honors Program offers generous scholarship support and is very competitive. Approximately 40 first-year college students and 20 college juniors enter the program each fall. The Honors Program receives anywhere from 200 to 250 applications each given year. Students who are not offered a seat in the University Honors Program are automatically considered for the University Scholars Program.

 

​​​​​​​For admission in fall 2021 we are not requiring SAT or ACT scores.  Our application criteria include two options: test scores and class rank.  We will certainly accept test scores if they are available.  If a test score is unavailable we ask that students submit independent evidence of class rank (i.e. noted on a transcript or indicated in a letter from a school official).  This does not have to be a precise standing--rather, we need to know whether or not the student is in the top 10% of their graduating class.  If this is not possible the student should contact Dr. Lehfeldt at e.lehfeldt@csuohio.edu for further guidance.

 

 

 

The University Scholars Program does not offer scholarship support and welcomes a higher number of high achieving students who are looking to enrich their educational experience with honors coursework in their chosen major. 
 

 

Admission to the Mandel Continuing Scholars Program competitve, as generous scholarship support is offered. Being a part of the Tri-C programs does not guarantee any student a spot in Cleveland State University's Mandel Continuing Scholars Program.
