Divisional Honors
Students are eligible for both divisional and college honors. Honors residency requirements in the major is at least 24 s.h. Transfer students must have at least 18 s.h. in residence in the major.

A degree with honors in the academic area is awarded to the student who has completed the major residency requirement at this college with a 3.50 GPA or better, if recommended by the department. Students may not qualify for divisional honors in an academic area for which they have not registered as a major.

A student with two major academic areas may qualify for honors in both areas.

It is the responsibility of the student to request, through the office of the associate dean, consideration for divisional honors in each academic area.

 

Scholarships

The Division of Economics and Business has six endowed scholarship funds dedicated to majors in Accounting, Business Economics or Economics. They are the Economics and Business Division Endowed Scholarship Fund, the John and Claudia DeMelis "Founders Scholarship in Accounting," the John Doherty Scholarship, the Steven Edelstein Scholarship in Honor of Dr. Foster Brown, the Dr. Ignatius J. H. Ts'ao Scholarship and George F. Ring, Jr and Ellen Smith Ring Scholarship. Eligibility for awards from these endowed scholarships is based upon academic achievement at the College at Oneonta, measured in terms of overall grade point average and grade point average in a major offered by the Division of Economics and Business. The "Founders Scholarship in Accounting" is restricted to Professional Accounting Majors.


Emeritus Professor Grace Ts'ao receives a check from Associate Dean Wade Thomas in March 2003, reflecting donations by faculty and friends to the Dr. Ignatius J. H. Ts'ao Scholarship Fund for Economics and Business students.

There is no application process for these scholarships. Eligibility for an award is determined by grade point average and a minimum number of earned semester hours.

Awards are contingent upon enrollment at Oneonta in a Division Of Economics and Business major. Awards are renewable based upon continued enrollment and sustained academic performance.
