<p>Does it say in the acceptance letter if you were accepted into an Honors college? I applied EA and was accepted into the CBA, but I have not heard anything about the Honors college, does this mean I was not accepted?</p>
<p>I believe the honors program notifies its first round of students with acceptances letters (or soon after if you applied EA). However, after May 1, more students who enroll at Fordham may be accepted if the program is not yet filled to capacity. In fact, I’ve heard of students being admitted as late as mid-August.</p>
<p>If you are interested in the honors program but were not offered admission at this time, I suggest you contact Dr. Harry Nasuti, the director of the program (<a href=“mailto:nasuti@fordham.edu”>nasuti@fordham.edu</a>). If you are still not admitted for first semester classes, it is possible (although not very common) to join the program in the second or third semesters if you achieve close to perfect grades while at Fordham. However, you must seek out Dr. Nasuti to do this. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>this may be a really stupid question but i cant seem to find it on the website so do you know is i have to separately apply to the honors college or are you automatically considered?
Also is Queens Court only for kids in the honors college?
Thanks!</p>
<p>All admitted students are automatically considered for the honors program. There is no separate application process. </p>
<p>Spence119, my post was in reference to the Fordham College Rose Hill honors program. I’m not familiar with the Global Business honors process for CBA. If you would like more information, here is a link that may help: [College</a> of Business Administration](<a href=“http://www.fordham.edu/academics/colleges__graduate_s/undergraduate_colleg/college_of_business_/academics/honors_opportunities/global_business_honors_program/index.asp]College”>http://www.fordham.edu/academics/colleges__graduate_s/undergraduate_colleg/college_of_business_/academics/honors_opportunities/global_business_honors_program/index.asp)</p>
<p>I don’t think Queen’s is only for honors kids considering (as far as I know) it houses more students than are in the program.</p>
<p>Should I apply for the honors college? I’ve gotten the brochures but I don’t want to just be inside all the time doing school work you know? It’s what I’m there for but also to take in the culture lol.</p>
<p>Queen’s houses many honors students, but the vast majority of residents are not from honors.</p>
<p>Again, there is no application process for honors. All applicants are considered. The workload for honors is heavy, but not so much that you cannot enjoy college as well.</p>
<p>I’m splitting hairs here, but keep in mind that it’s an honors PROGRAM, not a separate college. If you’re looking for an honors college where you’ll be separated and somewhat isolated from the rest of the student body, then Fordham’s honors program is not for you. You will be enrolled in the College of Business Administration or Fordham College at Rose Hill, and you’ll be participating in a special program within that college.</p>
<p>There are also other programs for upperclassmen that are designated as Honors programs and your transcript will be duly marked as such for all to see. See the University Bulletin for all course offerings for an explanation of which of these limited programs is best for you, IF you qualify. Most of them are by invitation of the faculty after Freshman year grades are in. </p>
<p>The Freshman Honors Program is indeed a special program and its very hard work. Its Cursu Honoris. But you still take a lot of the core requirements with the other students and yes, you can live in Queens or Tierney or wherever.</p>
<p>Actually you only take the language requirement with the rest of fordham. The rest of the core- including science and math - is substituted with the honors core. Your major requirements are taken with the rest of the student body.</p>
<p>I mean, that is the case for the Fordham College honors program. CBA honors students take an honors business core but then have their liberal arts core with other students.</p>
<p>And the Fordham college honors students cannot live in Tierney as the manresa program conflicts with the honors core.</p>
<p>Fair enough, but you are not required to live in Queens as far as I know and can live where you “want” consistent with availability and where reslife puts you.</p>
<p>its also my understanding that the CBA honors students take a different program/courses than the FCRH Honors Program students. And I see I was confused on what classes that Honors students take with the FCRH students, and realize now its language and major. The point I was making however, was its not a village by itself, its separate on some things and not on others and otherwise they live with and matriculate with FCRH/CBA students.</p>
<p>I’m no expert on the Honors Program. I just want students to know its not the only path to an honors curriculum. </p>
<p>Whatever. But thanks for the clarification.</p>
<p>Yeah, while probably about half of the FCRH honors kids live in Queens, the other half is spread out among Loschert, South, and Hughes. And the Global Business honors program is entirely separate from the FCRH honors program. I believe they are able to live in Tierney.</p>
<p>There are other upperclassmen “Honors” programs as well, which are offered. Students should check the Bulletin to find more information, and look at the course offerings. Most of these (if not all of them) are by invitation of faculty. Such as American Studies, American Catholic Studies, and I think there is one in the Journalism program as well, if I am not mistaken. Also, if you have a gpa above 3.5 after freshman year, you will get hounded from just about every department to sign up for a 5 year BA/MA from Fordham. Which is an excellent option for many students contemplating graduate school. Why? Because most people don’t realize how crazy competitive grad school programs are…like a 10% admit rate…and its often political or who you know that gets you in…so the better credentials you have going in the better your odds. Many graduate students already have a terminal MA, though for many programs its not necessary to do so, its advisable. Just a thought.</p>
<p>Fordham offers a panoply of opportunities for those who are motivated and self disciplined and focused on their academics. Its one of the wonderful things about Fordham…if you do well, it will be noticed by the powers that be, and they will be extending opportunities to you.</p>
<p>Sometimes its a bit humorous with professors from different programs fighting over wanting to mentor students and getting them to change majors. (By “fighting” I mean working really hard with the student to encourage them, in competition with another department. Not faculty wars. LOL.)</p>
