GPPA & Honors College Application Information

Applying to the GPPA and the Honors College

Guaranteed Professional Program Admissions

The GPPA program allows a limited number of freshmen per year to be admitted to UIC with guaranteed admission to one of several professional degree programs. Students need only maintain pre-set curriculum and performance criteria to maintain their guarantee.

With the security of GPPA, students are able to focus on undergraduate studies and have the freedom to pursue many subject areas and disciplines. In addition, participants have early and frequent contact with professional school faculty and advisors. Most students in GPPA also benefit from the facilities and services of the UIC Honors College.

Honors College

The UIC Honors College is an option for undergraduate students at UIC who seek additional academic challenge and extra-curricular opportunities.

All members of the Honors College also belong to a degree-granting college such as Liberal Arts and Sciences or Engineering.

Members of the Honors College may take honors courses or participate in an array of out of classroom experiences each semester.
