Application
The application for the Honors Program is separate from the application to the University. You must apply for admission to Clayton State University before or at the same time that you apply for the Honors Program. If you have not already done so, please visit the Admissions website and apply online.
The Clayton State University Honors Program application process consists of an application, interview with members of the honors program advisory council, and submission of an essay. Applications are reviewed twice per year (at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters). Please see below for the choice of essay questions to submit with your application.
Essay option 1
- Discuss an issue of geopolitical concern that has bearing on your life and how this issue has ramifications on your evolution as a scholar and leader.
Essay option 2
- Given your personal background, describe an experience that illustrates what you would bring to the Clayton State University honors community.
Essay option 3
- Describe what your personal vision is for the development of the local, state, national or global community is from the perspective of a future leader.
To complete the application, if you are a first-time college student you will need to know your high school GPA. Current CSU students or transfer students with 30 or more hours of transferable college credit will need their college GPA. In both cases, all of your transcripts need to be on file with the University before your application can be processed.
