• Engineering Honors Program requirements: You must take a minimum of 12 hours of honors courses, of which 6 hours must be engineering honors hours. You also must do undergraduate research and thesis, and complete all departmental requirements. Please visit this link for the detailed engineering honors program requirements.
• Understand ABET accreditation: The College of Engineering at the University of Arkansas is accredited by ABET. This is vital because ABET-accreditation is universally recognized by employers and academia. So our graduates are recognized as true engineers and command higher salaries.
• Apply for College of Engineering scholarships: Get help paying for school from the College of Engineering or your department.
