<p>Could someone please tell me what College Park Scholars is, and how does it relate to the Honors program? Thanks.</p>
<p>Well it is a seperate program on its own. I don;t know much about it either but it seems very cool</p>

<p>I think it is a more researched based program</p>
<p>From the presentation we attended, it seems to be a self-contained program where the participants choose one of nine or so themes and then spend their first two years living together and attending colloquia related to that theme. They must take an extra course each of the first three semesters relating to that theme and then will produce a group project or presentation during the fourth semester. They also have an advisor who is dedicated to the group and have on and off campus activities together.</p>
<p>so whats the diff. between honors program and college park scholars?</p>
<p>I'd also like to know more about this program. Looked on the UMD site but I don't really get it...</p>
<p>im in it too... perhaps it had something to do with question number 3 on the "Find Your Niche" statement...???</p>
<p>yeah, bearcat, i think that may have been it...on my niche question i commented how i figured theyd want me to by saying id like to study broad, and then focus on a certain area later on...maybe my BSing has actually paid off</p>
<p>hahaha yea... but no offense, i dont think its anything TOO special lol...</p>
