<p>Are echol scholars in the echol program for four years or just for the first year</p>
<p>and also what is so special about it?</p>
<p>Four year: <a href=“http://artsandsciences.virginia.edu/echols/[/url]”>http://artsandsciences.virginia.edu/echols/</a></p>
<p>Not having to take area requirements and having first pick of classes are the best fringe benefits for Echols. Rodmans get the early class selection, but the rearranged first year schedule is not that much of a plus.</p>
