Why Would I Take on the Additional Work for an Honors Program?

There are many reasons outstanding students enroll in an honors program. One is that graduation with honors helps students stand out from other students. Completion of an honors program is a strong factor when the student is being evaluated by employers and by directors of graduate programs. Often, the students in an honors program have other incentives to consider. They may have specially designated dormitory and living quarters. There may be special activities for this group of students such as travel opportunities, special speakers, and the like.
