A Primer on Public Honors Colleges / Programs

Public honors colleges and programs could be a great option for you; yet, because there is so much variability regarding how to be considered for them and the perks associated with being in them, these undergraduate experiences are often under-appreciated and under-discussed.

For kids in the donut hole - no need based financial aid, not able to pay $85K plus a year - this is what they shoot for! My daughter will be in the Honors College at UMD College Park in the fall!

It is like you are reading my mind with these topics. Another great one! Thank you.

Absolutely agree! Got into Honors program at UTD. It was safety school for us. Looks like now, it is #1 choice now.

TheLauren, She'll be in a good dorm and she'll have a few interesting and smaller classes with like minded students. Go Terps

Hi there. I recently applied for the Honors College in an Oregon public state university. I have not heard back from them yet. My grades weren’t all good but majority of my course were As and I was an honors student for both my community college when I graduated as well as from University of Phoenix. Are they just taking their time? I’m being anxious as to if I’m going to get in. Please advise. Thank you.
