Prospective Honors Cooperative Program (HCP) students follow the same admissions process and must meet the same admissions requirements as full-time graduate students.

This program works best for students employed locally because some on-campus course work will be necessary. Admitted students should thoroughly review their admission offers before accepting, there are a limited amount of available online courses. For questions about our part-time program, please see information on the Stanford Center for Professional Development [Stanford Online](https://online.stanford.edu/) website or send an email to the CGOE [Aero/Astro course advisor](mailto:AA_CourseAdvisor@lists.stanford.edu). HCP applicants are considered quarterly.
