Hello Group! Today's chapter is a program many of you will want to consider when you go to
college. It is an option you will have if you are a strong student, meet the university's
requirements, and want to enhance your education. The program is called Honors, or Honors
Program. Though not for everyone (only the best students will qualify), it's definitely
something you should check out. Today's author is David Blatt.
David Blatt completed a B.A. Degree with Honours from the
University of Alberta in 1986. After earning a Ph.D. in political
science from Cornell University, he was an Academic Counselor with the University Honors
Program at Oklahoma State University in 1996 and 1997. (The OSU Honors Program can be

HONORS
More than probably any other area covered by this course, Honors is a subject that varies
from one college to another. What holds true virtually everywhere is that Honors is an
opportunity for talented and motivated students to enrich their educational experience
while in college. At some schools, you may find a separate Honors College, while at others
you may not find Honors at all. Most commonly, however, if you are an Honors student at
college, you participate in an Honors Program by taking Honors classes as part of your
course work towards your degree. Success in these courses can earn you special awards or a
degree with Honors. While recognizing that any two given Honors Programs may bear as much
resemblance as a poodle to a Great Dane, here are answers to some of the most common and
important questions about Honors in college.
