Admissions
Incoming Freshmen

A high level of scholastic aptitude is beneficial, but far from the only trait that defines a Moody Honors student. We look for applicants who are capable of critical and independent thinking, with intellectual curiosity, creativity, and a variety of experiences and backgrounds. Freshmen applicants must select a major in Moody College as their first choice major in their admissions application.
