Many schools offer these specialized programs within their university while others have independent facilities. When applying for this high- er-learning opportunity, there are several advantages and disadvantages to weigh. WHAT IS AN HONORS COLLEGE? According to American Honors, an honors education is defined as in-class and extracurricular activities that are more complex than com- parable learning experiences typically found at institutions of higher education. One of the largest differenc- es that students experience is smaller class sizes and a more personal approach when teaching. Rather than attend- ing class in a large, lec- ture-based setting, attendees are invited to discuss ideas and answer important ques- tions together. Being invited to an honors program typically requires a stellar grade history, high standardized test scores and an impressive application essay. With these factors covered, your submission will have a higher chance of landing a prestigious spot in these top-tier programs. © ADOBE STOCK ADVANTAGES An advantage that students gain by attending an honors college that provides housing is being paired with like-minded individuals. Your housemates will likely have similar goals and you can push each other to complete assignments or develop new problem-solving skills. Oftentimes, the tuition costs for this type of education are significantly lower than the price of a four-year university. This can mean you have much less student-loan debt after graduation if you don’t qualify for financial assistance or lack the funds to pay up front. Smaller class sizes mean faculty members can spend more one-on-one time with each student. This helps you absorb more information and discuss an issue until you fully understand it. DISADVANTAGES While there are numerous benefits you can obtain by attending an honors college, there are some disadvantages you should consider. Since the programs include a small number of students, universities may be more like- ly to reduce scholarship fund- ing or support if they are faced with budget cuts. The workload also is increased over a typical col- lege education. You should expect more homework, deep- er research and extra writing tasks. Being enrolled in an honors program is a privilege that requires a serious com- mitment to your assignments. You may find yourself lacking the extra time to participate in many on-campus activities.
