Students admitted to the Honors Programs have certain obligations additional to those of regular students at Yeshiva University. Some of these obligations govern entry into the program, some are requirements for graduation from the program and some are requirements for maintaining the academic scholarship offered by the program.
All students admitted to the Honors Programs may defer their admission. The most common reason for deferral is Torah study in Israel, but deferral is granted for other reasons as well. Students deferring in order to study in Israel are encouraged to participate in the S. Daniel Abraham Israel Program.
Honors students who receive Distinguished Scholarships ($20,000 or greater) are obligated to begin their on-campus studies during a fall semester. This means that they may defer their admission in full-year increments only.
Honors students are obligated to maintain a 3.6 GPA in order to remain in the program and to maintain their academic scholarship. A student whose GPA falls below 3.6 must meet with an academic adviser to develop strategies for raising his or her GPA to the required level.
Each honors program has its own set of graduation requirements. To learn more:
