How to Apply


Honors College Singapore Application Requirements:

  • No incoming first-semester students (including transfer students) will be admitted immediately in the Fall. Instead, the application period will open after the end of the Spring semester to continuing students admitted in the Spring semester or prior. For example: for Fall 2023 admissions, we will accept applications from students admitted in Spring 2023 or earlier. Note that ideally, students should have four or more semesters remaining before graduation.
  • Completion of at least 45 credit hours at the time of application.
  • UB GPA of at least 3.500.
  • One letter of reference from UB faculty, including local instructors teaching for the SIM-UB program, should be submitted to honors@buffalo.edu. Letters from TAs, graduate students, academic advisors, employers, and coaches will not be accepted.
  • Two short essays (each a maximum of 250 words):
    1. Describe how your previous experiences and future ambitions - both inside and outside of the classroom - have critically shaped your education.
    2. Describe a problem or issue - past or present, aesthetic, political, cultural, environmental, scientific, etc. - and why you think it should be a significant focus for academic or policy attention.
  • The application will be modeled on the Advanced Honors Program Application.

Application Deadline:
