Honors College Retention

<p>My son has been awarded a Premier Scholarship and admittance into the Honors College. He intends to pursue an engineering degree in CoEIT. The requirements to maintain both the scholarship and GPA are a 3.25 GPA. Practically speaking, how difficult is that as an engineering student at UMBC, where -- at many schools -- a 3.25 GPA would be a nice accomplishment?</p>

<p>Or, do the Honors College students receive so much support that they have a good retention rate across the board?</p>
