<p>Can anyone describe the Honors in Computer Science program at Stony Brook? How is different from the regular Computer Science program? </p>
<p>And is it possible to be in the Honors College and the Honors program in Computer science simultaneously?</p>
<p>Sorry I missed this. Short answer to your second question: no. It'd be one or the other. The CS Honors Program is a selective program where you take some of your intro courses in a more intensive environment. Full details are on their site, which is here: <a href="http://www.cs.sunysb.edu/undergrad/honors/index.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.cs.sunysb.edu/undergrad/honors/index.html</a></p>
<p>There are also some additional course requirements, as well as a senior thesis.</p>
<p>Hope this helps... if you have other questions, let me know.</p>

<p>Is that policy new for this year? I know when I went on a tour of SB, the lady telling us about the CS Honors Program (this was in the CS building itself) that there are a few people in both programs...She also said that for the senior thesis, that another reader from the CS department would simply grade it. I forget her name, but she definately was from the CS department.</p>
<p>I applied to both and already was accepted into the Honors College and I am thrilled about it! I'm kind of curious, though whether I got into the Computer Science Honors Program, too.</p>
<p>I'll check on Monday... but I think they might be mutually exclusive. I know WISE and the HC are.</p>
