[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Every honors program is different[/b].  For the one I attended you had to keep a 3.5 GPA, complete independent research and defend a thesis, complete service hours, and take an interdisciplinary honors class with a heavy writing component every semester.  It went on our diploma and was a lot of work.

The biggest advantages were that the head of the program would get you into any class you wanted to take, you could take an unlimited number of credit hours, you got lots of hook ups for the best internship and job offers, and they groomed you for prestigious awards like Rhodes, Marshall, NSF GRF, etc.

If you weren't ambitious, it wasn't worth it.  But if you were gunning for a top grad school or job, it was worth it.[/quote]

Bolded is key. All of these programs are so different that you can’t really generalize, nor should you want to. Research the programs/colleges at the universities you want to attend. That actually goes beyond just honors colleges as well to pretty much everything else.[/quote]
