<p>I believe SEBS Honors starts w Freshman and you can’t transfer in. SEBS Honors is very small and selective (<25). If you had the stats as a HS senior and were accepted (you didn’t need to accept, however), you & about 100 others were invited for a full day of interviews and essay writing in March. SEBS Honors provides an additional $1000 scholarship, but you have to take an Honors course each year that lots of reading & writing.</p>

Hey homies:D
Sooo What’s the difference between honors college and honors program lol? I’ve heard my friends talk about it but no one really knows. I was admitted to the SAS and SEBS honors program through direct admission so am I in the college?

@Upenngirl98 I attended the honors program open house and they explained it as follows. The Honors College is a University wide program where they admit a few of the very top students from each of the colleges – SAS SEBS Engineering, Pharmacy… The students are required to live in the honors college dorm (gorgeous) as freshmen. This year is the first of its existence. The honors program does not go across different schools. SAS has its program. SEBS has its program. They have their own requirements. For SAS there is honors housing on the different campuses. I think SEBS has honors housing on 1 campus. If you are admitted to the honors program you are not in the honors college. while they don’t come right out and say it, the honors program seems to be those just below the cut for the college. The honors open house was great by the way. If you have any real interest in RU you should go.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! @baxter

Like @baxter we attended the SAS open house in February and found pretty much the same thing about the honors college. Academically there seems to be very little difference between honors college and honors programs. In general, I was very impressed by the SAS honors program. My daughter is still waiting for her other RD schools but we have pretty much decided that she will accept this. The faculty were very helpful and learned a lot from them.

@baxter, is the honors college dorm only for freshmen? I thought it was also for continuing students.

@CSDad123 The honors college dorm is just from freshmen. There are other honors dorms (not nearly as nice!) that honors college and honors program students (upperclass men honors college and any honors program student) can live in. Honors college freshman must live the honors college dorm. Honors program don’t have to live in an honors dorm.

Hope this helps!
