The primary admissions process for the honors progrms (and the Rutgers Honors College) are integrated into the Rutgers undergraduate admissions process. Applicants to Rutgers that indicate an interest in SEBS are then considered within the admissions process. The admissions office takes into account the complete application in deciding whether to issue an application for the Honors Program or Honors College.
Successful candidates are typically notified in March, prior to the deadline for college decision.
Honors Program students can request to be housed together on one floor of a Cook-Douglass Campus dorm, should they so choose.
The Honors Prorgam faculty committee meets every semester to review scholastic standing. The committee makes recommendations for helping or addressing situations in which students whose grade-point averages fall below the General Honors Program standard (3.4 GPA). To complete the Program, students must have a GPA of 3.4 or above at the time that they graduate.
Transfer Students
Students who transfer into SEBS from another honors program at a Rutgers University college may apply to join the honors program. If accepted, the Director may adjust the remaining course requirements to fit their circumstances.
Students who transfer from outside Rutgers University can apply for Winter Supplemental Admissions if they will have at least 5 semesters remaining after the application. Alternatively, these students may begin the college's senior honors thesis program (the George H. Cook Scholars Program) in the second semester of their junior year.
