Registering for SOM Courses prior to completion of the transfer:

The PwC Scholars and EY Student Leaders Programs

BU Scholars are guaranteed transfer into, or enrollment in a dual degree program with SOM or any other BU school/college. However, entry into either the PwC Scholars Program or EY Student Leaders Program is only available for current first-year students by application only, and is not guaranteed. Under certain conditions, as described herein, students may be allowed to be in either, or both the BU Scholars Program and an SOM Honors Program.  A BU Scholar may:

  1. Remain a BU Scholar (and decline to apply to an SOM Honors Program)
  2. Apply to be in an SOM Honors Program  (and if accepted, decline to remain a BU Scholar)
  3. Remain a BU Scholar and apply to be in an SOM Honors Program (and if accepted, the student may enroll in both programs – see curriculum accommodations below)
  4. If interested in applying to an SOM Honors Program, please contact: Michael Innocenti (PwC Scholars) minnocenti@binghamton.edu or Natalie Herr (EY Student Leaders) nherr1@binghamton.edu
  5. BU Scholars Program Requirements for BU Scholars enrolled in SOM Honors Programs

Scholars enrolled in SOM still must meet academic requirements.  However, some SOM classes fulfill Scholars requirements.  Scholars taking MGMT 350 or MGMT 360 need not also take SCHL 227.  MGMT 350 or MGMT 360 also satisfies the Scholars 3 requirement.  MGMT 411 satisfies the Scholars 4 requirement.  Students must register for SCHL 327 and 427 in the same semesters they are taking these courses.
