Western Michigan University Parent and Family Guide
Lee Honors College
The Lee Honors College at Western Michigan University is an integral part of the WMU community. LHC students study in every discipline and take advantage of a diverse and rich array of courses to deepen and develop their major and minor fields of study. The Honors College provides an environment where each student grows through personal relationships with other students and faculty, academic challenges, and opportunities for leadership.
High school students who are accepted to WMU will receive an invitation to join the college if they have an ACT composite score of at least 26 and a GPA of 3.6. Students who can demonstrate a rank within the top 10% of their high school class also are welcome to join.
Students may be admitted at other stages of their academic career. Currently enrolled students at WMU who have earned a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or better may submit an application for admission. Those students who join the college as current WMU students need a minimum of 4 semesters to complete their coursework and thesis.
Similarly, transfer students also are welcome to apply for admission (with supporting materials) if they carry a cumulative 3.5 GPA. Those students who transfer from an institution of which the Honors College has a reciprocal agreement are granted automatic admission into the college.
