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 UC San Diego 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 transfer and freshman students must check the Marshall College Honors eligibility criteria on the Marshall website: http://marshall.ucsd.edu/academics/honors-opportunities/tmc-honors-program.html. Continuing UC San Diego students are eligible upon successful completion of at least twelve graded units with a 3.8 or better cumulative GPA. All honors students must maintain a 3.50 or better cumulative GPA.
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 university-wide and departmental honors, Provost Honors, Thurgood Marshall College Honors, and Phi Beta Kappa membership.
