<p>I've heard that word so many times, but still have no idea what it is. I searched it, but the descriptions seem vague. Anyone interested in enlightening me?</p>

<p>It’s basically UVa’s honors program. (for arts and sciences, not engineering, etc)</p>
<p>It offers special opportunities to those undergraduates in the College of Arts & Sciences who are its most avid learners. These opportunities include</p>
<p>*freedom from the usual area requirements in the College,
*priority registration times in selecting courses,
*access to the Echols Interdisciplinary Major,
*a shared first year living experience,
*a select cadre of faculty advisers, and
*participation in the Echols news and information electronic network.</p>
<p>So in one were to major in Biology, and then Neuroscience, would this program be available to them?</p>
<p>yes

<p>The Echols site is the first item returned when you Google the word. :)</p>
<p>How do you pronounce Echols?</p>
<p>my best text approximation is “eck-ols”</p>
<p>Ok that’s what I thought but I wasn’t quite sure. Thanks!</p>
