WHY SHOULD I TAKE HONORS COURSES? WILL THEY MAKE IT HARDER FOR ME TO MAINTAIN MY GPA?
Honors courses are not designed to be more difficult than other courses. They are designed to offer you greater interaction with your fellow students and with selected faculty. Typically, honors courses are less likely to be pure lecture, more likely to be participatory.

WILL I RECEIVE ANY SPECIAL RECOGNITION FOR HAVING TAKEN HONORS COURSES?
Yes, For students who take and pass 7 required Honors courses, the official transcript prepared upon graduation will bear the notation "Honors Program Graduate."

DO THESE COURSES COUNT AS PART OF MY DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS?
Yes.
