Transfer Students

Incoming transfer students pursuing any undergraduate major may participate in the Honors Program. To submit your previous Honors coursework for consideration for Drake Honors credit, send a transcript of previous coursework at other institutions to Jennifer McCrickerd, Honors Director, at jennifer.mccrickerd@drake.edu.

To begin the Honors Track at Drake, complete the 2012 Honors Application and submit it via e-mail to honors.program@drake.edu.

Many courses are cross-listed in other departments, giving students a chance to experience the small, interdisciplinary, discussion-based atmosphere of Honors courses while still earning credit toward degree requirements.

Once you have decided to commit to the Honors Track, complete the Intent to Change to Honors Program Track form and submit it to the Honors Office in Medbury 206/209. Submitting this form allows your degree audit to reflect that you are pursuing the Honors Track and not the AOI Track.

Drake University's unique Honors Program has no strict GPA requirements for participation in the Honors Program. Students who are looking for engaging, discussion-based and writing-intensive courses are welcome to join the program.
