Transfer In School to Honors?

[ThunderFan1]

<p>I was wondering if after a year pursuing a standard Economics major if you can tranfser into a honors plan for the same major, assuming the GPA is good enough</p>

<p>In the college of liberal arts, you can get upper division honors, which is like honors in the major, in most majors.<br>
[UT</a> College of Liberal Arts](<a href=“Liberal Arts Honors Programs | Liberal Arts | UT - Austin”>Liberal Arts Honors Programs | Liberal Arts | UT - Austin)
Here is how it works for an economics major:
[Department</a> of Economics: Honors Program](<a href=“Economics | Liberal Arts | UT - Austin”>Economics | Liberal Arts | UT - Austin)
Note timing: “Majors seeking honors in economics are encouraged to apply by the beginning of their sophomore year and must apply for admission before the first semester of their senior year.”</p>

<p>Also, you can graduate with honors in liberal arts if you maintain at least a 3.5 GPA and take 3 LAH classes and do well in them.</p>

<p>

Students pursuing a Plan I Bachelor of Arts degree may qualify for graduation with Honors in the College of Liberal Arts by taking three intensive upper division LAH courses. No application is required, but enrollment in these courses is limited to Plan I students who have earned a cumulative UT GPA of 3.5 and who have completed of 60 credit hours.
To graduate with “Liberal Arts Honors” students must must:
-Take three upper-division LAH 350 or higher numbered courses
-Receive at least two ‘A’s and one ‘B’ in the three courses.
-Have an overall UT GPA of at least 3.5
-Have 60 hours in residence at the University of Texas at Austin
