<p>I'm pretty confused about the difference between the university scholars and honors college programs at stonybrook. I've looked at the website and from what I've read the programs sounded similar, what is the difference between these programs and which should I select as preferred on the common app?</p>
<p>This question comes up a lot. The first major difference is in the curriculum. HC students take the HC core curriculum, which substitutes for the gen-ed liberal arts core, while everyone else (Scholars and WISE) take the regular core. Other than that, they’re very similar.</p>
<p>Which you prefer is up to you.</p>
