Current and transfer students may graduate with distinction in one of two avenues.

The Honors Scholar Program allows students to reap the benefits of the Honors experience and graduate with Honors designation. Students may take Honors courses and complete an Honors Thesis project to demonstrate a willingness to excel beyond the typical college experience. 

The Global Scholar/Global Learner Program was established as part of the Texas A&M University-Commerce Quality Enhancement Plan - Preparing Students for an Interconnected World. Qualified students may apply for Global Scholar/Global Learner status after their fifth semester.
