 What
you'll need to get in:
With
each passing year our program grows and we welcome yet
another bright, motivated and promising freshman
class. We would like to keep growing and continue
helping students such as yourself. The
Honors College is by invitation only. Students
may be invited to join the
Honors
College
as entering
freshmen, as continuing students, or as transfer students, depending on each student's circumstances.
Each new student means a more diverse community, new
perspectives, new opportunities, and a growing alumni
network - all prove beneficial to our students.
Therefore, we look forward to welcoming applications and
inquiries from students around the world. If you meet
the requirements then ask us questions, visit us, and
hopefully we will one day be welcoming you to a first class
university education at the Rutgers-Newark Honors
College.
Students
entering the Honors
College
from high
school should have:
-
A
1200 SAT and be in the top 10% of class.

Students entering
the Honors

students transferring from another university may be
eligible to enter the
Honors
College
in their
sophomore or junior years.

institution are given priority consideration.
- Transfer
students and Rutgers-Newark students who enter in their
second or third year will not be required to enroll in
the Freshman Honors Colloquium or Honors English

requirements of the Honors
College.
