Clarify Honors Program/BBA/Hilltop Scholars?

<p>Trying to find info regarding differences among all the "honors" designations?
D has been invited to Honors Program and BBA scholars. Is she able to do both?</p>

<p>What is difference among?</p>

<p>Also, what about the scholarships? Are there any associated with the "honors" programs?</p>

<p>Hi @newmom2014,</p>

<p>Yes, she can easily do both. BBA Scholars is specifically through the business school. About 100 students are selected each year to have guarunteed admittance to Cox School of Business, ability to some business courses their first year (most others have to wait until junior year), and access to special perks (scholar socials, seats at lectures from outside speakers, etc.). Some BBA Scholars are awarded scholarship money (mine was $5,000 for 4 years). </p>

<p>University Honors Program has a classroom component to it where you will take some (about 7) of your General Education courses “honors.” Which means special professors, smaller classes, and more rigor. There are also fun ativities planned for honors students. I don’t believe there is any scholarship money that goes with the offer to join the program.</p>
