University Honors Program Admissions
For the 2021 -2022 (Fall 2022 admission) we recommend scanning all materials (including recommendation letters) and email the application to honors.program@csuohio.edu
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.
Incoming Freshman Deadline- January 15
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.
Current College Sophomore Deadline- February 28
All applicants will receive an email confirming their application is completed.
University Scholars Program Admissions
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.
Deadline for All Scholars Students- August 1
Mandel Continuing SCHOLARS PROGRAM ADMISSIONS
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.
