Eligibility

The SEAM Honors program is open to exceptional first year business and engineering students who seek to develop a comprehensive understanding of the new business and technology models dominating today’s marketplace.

To be eligible for admission into the SEAM program, you must be an incoming freshman with an un-weighted high school grade point average of 3.5 or above or have an ACT score of 28 or higher (or SAT score of 1240 or higher). In addition to academic performance, applicants will be evaluated on their leadership experiences and ability to work in team settings as reflected in extracurricular activities. Interest in engineering and management will be judged through a required essay. Students who meet the above criteria are invited to apply to the program by filling out a short application form as well as forwarding a high school transcript and their ACT scores. Enrollment in the program will be limited to 40 business and engineering students.

The application process includes an essay question and a request to list extracurricular activities.  We carefully review extracurricular activities in order to judge time management and leadership skills.  Priority application deadline is February 1 for full consideration. Please note that the site for the application to SEAM Honors is on a Gatton College of Business and Economics server.  The online application is now available.
