Honors students delve profoundly into environmental sciences through the historic relationship between human beings and their surroundings. Many university graduates change careers several times during their lives. Therefore, this degree also emphasizes marketable skills that are portable, such as critical thinking, writing, and problem solving, that ready students for a broad range of career options.
Students who are admitted to the Honors College are encouraged to connect directly with the staff Program Director of the HSH program if they are interested in pursuing the Honors Sciences and the Humanities degree. Students are invited to discuss the degree requirements and recommended first-year courses at any time; however, students are only eligible to officially declare HSH (as a primary degree program or as a secondary degree program) following completion of their first semester at TTU and only if the cumulative GPA is 3.5 or higher.
