Are honors classes more difficult?

  • Students actually tell us they believe honors classes are better rather than harder - they are more fulfilling because of the close interaction among faculty and students.


Will my grade point average go down if I take honors classes?

  • The opportunities for writing, for discussion, for help and feedback can make it easier to do well. And as your writing, research, and thinking skills improve, you'll see the benefits in your other classes as well.
