<p>With getting into grad school, academics, prestige(?) considered.</p>
<p>Couldn't find anything with search.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I’d say UT-Austin, as far as public goes. Business, engineering, liberal arts, and Plan II are all very respected programs, especially with McCombs being a very well-ranked b-school for publics.</p>
<p>Thanks.
For any other responses, is there really a qualitative way to rank honors colleges? Or are there rankings?</p>
<p>how about the honors colleges at American U and BC?</p>
<p>Hard to find data; I’ve been looking, too.</p>
<p>NB: depends on whether you want an honors program or an honors college; they are two different things. An Honors College tries to be a small liberal arts college within the larger university, typically with separate and smaller class sizes, intimate teacher/student relationships, and a separate dorms (like Shreyer at Penn State.) An Honors program provides additional support for honors students in a wide range of ways while also ensuring that they are integrated into the larger university: preferential registration, symposia, special advisors, reserach opportunities (like Commonwealth College at UMAss Amherst.)</p>
<p>Schreyer looks great: [Schreyer</a> Honors College](<a href=“http://www.shc.psu.edu/]Schreyer”>http://www.shc.psu.edu/)</p>

<p>The University of Pittsburgh doesn’t have a bad honors college at all.</p>
<p>St. Mary’s College of Maryland has a pretty good rep.</p>
<p>The distinction between honors college and honors program is blurring. Pitt honors is excellent, but (for example) honors classes are open to all students and it is generally run like an honors program despite being labeled an honors college due to the B.Phil. degree.</p>
