Pre-College Honors Program

The Pre-College Honors Program enables students to take university courses during the summer between their junior and senior year of high school. Provisions are also made for high school students to take a college course during the regular school year. Only students of exceptionally high academic ability are selected for the program. Special counseling is provided by the university.

To be considered for selection for the Beaumont Campus Program, an applicant must have

  • Completed the junior year in an accredited high school
  • At least a B-plus average through the second quarter of the junior year of high school
  • Submitted total scores of 1000 or equivalent on the PSAT, SAT or ACT.  A score of 500 or equivalent on the verbal section of the PSAT, SAT, or ACT is necessary for acceptance to the program
  • Been recommended by the high school counselor or principal.

In order to take a course in mathematics, a student must have scored at least 500 or equivalent on the PSAT, SAT, or ACT Quantitative section, and the student must have the permission of their high school counselor.  The counselor should recommend which mathematics courses best serve the needs of a particular student. Only a limited number of applicants are taken into the program each year. Selection is made on an individual basis by the university. An eligible senior who lacks no more than three required academic credits for graduation may enroll during the regular school year with approval of high school officials and the Lamar Director of Admissions.  Detailed information and special application and recommendation forms are available in the Admissions Office.
