Two major steps have been integrated into the
South Carolina College this year to prevent honor
students from being "walled off" from the rest of the
university, according to Peter Sederh*?rtf nnHna
master of South Carolina College.
First, honors students will divide honors classes
with regular courses almost evenly. In this respect,
students will experience all academics that USC has
to offer. Second, housing will be on a 60-40 ratio
between honors and non-honors students. The Horseshoe
will be the main site of South Carolina College,
but it will also house other students.
SOUTH CAROLINA high school students have
thought they had to leave the state to receive a
quality education, said Sederberg. South Carolina
College seeks to change this situation.
The honors college is the "single most visible

program ai uol oeaeroerg saia. He in inks that
publicity generated by the honors curriculum will
attract many students who had not previously considered
attending USC.
The guidelines for freshman acceptance into South

(SAT) score of 1,200 or better. Also, class ranking is a
factor, with students in the top 10 percent in their high
school classes receiving priority consideration.
These guidelines are somewhat flexible, said
Sederberg. For example, an SAT score of 1,100 would
not disqualify a student whose class rank was extremely
high.
CONTINUING USC students may apply for the
honors program provided they have an overall grade
point ratio of at least 3.3, Sederberg said. However, a

The key to a successful honors curriculum is
participation* according to Sederberg. "We are trying
to develop an educational environment in which

lents not isolated
students have greater opportunity for participation in
class/' he said.
Seder berg stressed three major benefits from
participation in South Carolina College. First, the
classes are small, allowing for more interaction
between the student and professor.
SECOND, HONORS professors are chosen on
their merits and knowledge in their particular fields.
Finally, the students themselves are exceptional.
This gives instructors the chance to gear classes
toward more quality programs.
The problem with the USC honors program in the
Dast was that many students did not know about the
benefits, said Sederberg. Following the incorporation
of South Carolina College last December, the honors
office sent letters of invitation to qualified students
who sent their SAT scores to USC.
Beginning next year, a recruitment list compiled
from nationwide SAT scores will aid in attracting
applicants, according to Sederberg.
MARSHALL WINN, director of admissions for
South Carolina College, is enthusiastic about the
program. Out of the 220 students who expressed inA

and registered, Winn said. Also, nearly 400 students
have already applied for admission next fall.
"We are delighted at the reaction students have
had to South Carolina College. Some of them have
been visiting other highly rated institutions, including
Ivy League schools," Winn said.
The honors college was allotted a budget of $41,948
for the 1978-79 academic year, said Francis
Borkowski, UbC provost. This money was allocated
from state subsidies and student fees, he said.
"I'M VERY excited about the recent development
and the future potential of South Carolina College,"
Borkowski said. "It provides an important approach
for students with high scholastic abilities."
