Thurgood Marshall College
OFFICE: Provost, Thurgood Marshall College Administration Building
The Thurgood Marshall College Honors Program is designed to address
one of the greatest responsibilities and challenges of public higher
education: the education of students of exceptionally high academic
achievement. The program provides the organization and the environment
within which students are encouraged to pursue individual excellence.
Honors activities and events are designed to introduce Thurgood Marshall
students to the excitement of pioneering research and innovative scholarship
in all disciplines at UCSD and to create opportunities for discussion
on public issues with locally and nationally known figures. This happens
primarily through the honors seminar, offered every quarter, and open
to all class levels of honors students.
To qualify for the honors program, incoming freshmen must have achieved
an evaluated high school GPA of 3.8 or better, and mathematical SAT
score of 650 and verbal SAT score of 710 or higher. Continuing UCSD
and transfer students are eligible upon successful completion of at
least twelve graded units with a 3.7 or better cumulative GPA. All
honors
students must maintain a 3.50 or better cumulative GPA.
The criteria
for college honors are currently under review. Please contact the college
for more information. Thurgood Marshall College annually recognizes superior achievement.
The Provost Award is presented at commencement to a graduating senior
who is recognized for outstanding academic achievement and breadth of
scholarship. In addition, students may be eligible for universitywide
and departmental honors, Provost Honors, Thurgood Marshall College Honors,
Phi Beta Kappa membership, and participation in small honors classes
in science.
Public Service Minor
Thurgood Marshall College sponsors the Public Service Minor at UCSD,
which encourages students to understand the history and practices of
public service and to participate in the development of civic skills.
This minor is open to all UCSD students in good standing. Please see
Public Service Minor in the departmental listings.
