Applicants to the Global Citizen Honors Program (GCHP) must have a 3.5 GPA, complete this online application, and submit an essay on a set topic described below.
The Global Citizen Honors Program provides its members with opportunities to explore areas of personal interest more in depth; to engage with others in a broad range of intellectual inquiry; and to investigate global, interdisciplinary issues by inquiring into the theories and philosophical underpinnings of complex social issues. It asks its members to be involved with the problems they are investigating, with each other, and with the world around them; and it expects members to draw their own map of where they want their education to go.
