How to apply to the Honors in Advanced Nutritional Sciences (HANS) Program
If you are, or soon will be, a High School Graduate and have not enrolled in college after high school –
Complete the ApplyTexas application for Freshman Admission and select Nutritional Sciences (E71900) as your first or second major preference.
At the end of the ApplyTexas application, check the box that states that you are interested in applying for an honors program. Note: You will not be able to begin the honors program application until you have submitted your admission application. (It can take up to 24 hours for you ApplyTexas application to be received by UT Austin once you submit it on the ApplyTexas site. Please submit early to avoid complications and delays.)
Complete and submit the honors program application by the DECEMBER 1 deadline. All students who select Nutritional Sciences as a major preference and apply to the College of Natural Sciences Honors will also be considered for HANS regardless of which honors program you indicate as your preference.
