How so? Please elaborate people

Because your Google is broken?

OP asked for “and why” - so move along if you have nothing to offer, thank you dear

Identifying the programs offers much more value than transcribing those programs' web pages for a perfectly capable adult.

Would honors at Michigan or UNC be ivy-caliber?

You mean the kids? Yes. Or the courses? Also yes. But honors courses will be a minority of the courses you take; most of your courses (and classmates in those courses) will be Michigan/UNC-caliber.

Can you say more about their Honor program?

Our vote is for both Penn State and NC State. Both very good programs as far as we could tell after acceptance into them. I think my son is going to end up choosing Penn State.

Adding Michigan State.

Penn State and ASU.

Univ. of South Carolina and Arizona.

Penn State and the Universities of Oregon, South Carolina, and Kansas are examples of "just fine" flagships that have truly stellar honors colleges/programs.

Making college lists. Curious which colleges have top notch honors programs and why? And separately, are there any honors programs that are heads and shoulders above the rest of the school? A school that may not have the strongest academics, but the honors program is so strong that it outweighs that lack of strength? Or does a school have to have decent academics overall to make the honors program excellent?
