<p>Hi, anyone knows about the Honors Collegium program?
What are the differences between Honors Collegium and Honors Program?
Any international students in the Honors Collegium program?
I would be happy if anyone who has joined this program may share their experience.</p>
<p>I believe that the only Freshmen who get into the Collegium are those that win the Distinction award in the Maximus contest, or whichever the highest award is. Otherwise, you have to apply after you’re in OSU and have a 3.7 gpa or higher and have some GREAT extracurriculars. The Collegium is selective and chooses like 10 kids a year, or something like that.</p>
<p>Vivired75’s correct. </p>
<p>The Honors Program is a tougher curriculum that allows you schedule earlier, gives you access to special advising and classes, and through which you graduate “with honors.”</p>
<p>The Collegium is a group/resource for students who plan to apply to very competitive opportunities like the Rhodes, Fulbright, etc. It’s not something you put on your resume like Honors, but rather gives you support for tough pursuits.</p>
