Students may apply to any major at IUP when seeking admission to the Cook Honors College. Some majors, including dietetics, education, nursing, speech-language pathology and audiology, art, music, and theater, have special admission requirements for freshmen and for transfers.
Because of size restrictions, students interested in nursing or speech-language pathology and audiology need to submit applications earlier than for other programs. While Speech-Language applicants have until December 15 to submit their applications, Nursing students have only as long as the program has space; this varies from year to year, but the program has closed anytime between late December and early February.
If I'm unsure if I want to apply to the Cook Honors College, do I have to wait to submit my application?
I already submitted my undergraduate application, but now I want to apply to the Cook Honors College. What do I do?

You do not need to reapply for admission.
Yes. The Cook Honors College accepts second semester freshman and sophomore transfer students. Any student with fewer than 30 credit hours may apply as a transfer student. The process is detailed in the Cook Honors College Admissions instructions.
