<p>What is the difference between scholar's for medicine, WISE, and pre-med studies at stony brook? Are pre-med studies part of the honors programs? On their website it is listed under special programs. thanks!</p>
<p>WISE (and the Honors College) are honors programs for Stony Brook students. They have similar entry and graduation requirements.</p>
<p>Scholars for Medicine is our eight-year combined BS/MD program; it draws from both the Honors College and WISE. A student needs to be admitted to one of those two programs before being considered for SfM.</p>
<p>Pre-med at Stony Brook is like pre-med everywhere; you can major in anything and apply to medical school. You do not need to be a member of any honors programs to get pre-med help; each student is advised differently.</p>
