@EngineeringDad7777 - The Honors College and the Scholars Program are 2 different programs that students can be admitted to.

Admission is based on the students application only and the student must apply by Nov 1 to be considered for either program.

A student can be admitted to one or the other, but not both.

Each program has their own Admissions Committee The Honors College has the first pick of students.

Each program as it’s own set of subprograms, and associated dorms, that the students can request to participate in.

The Honors College is a 4 year program. The Scholars Program is 2 years.

Neither one is needed for a successful college or post college experience

Stats alone (GPA and test scores) will NOT guarantee admission into either program.

Here are links to each Program.
