Benefits of
the Honors Program
The
Honors Program is designed for students of exceptional ability and
motivation. Although the courses are meant to be more intellectually
challenging and more rewarding, they are not supposed to be graded at a
higher level or have tougher exams than regular classes. In this way,
students will not be penalized in their GPA for taking the Honors
classes. Furthermore, because the classes will emphasize active
learning between students and faculty, the Foundations 21 curriculum
will better prepare students who plan to go into professional programs,
such as law or business, as well as other graduate programs. The
curriculum is also designed for those students who want to enrich their
minds and their lives through an examined encounter with the major
works and ideas that have shaped western civilization. The intent, for
students at Tech, is to provide a small liberal arts college education
within a technologically-based, research institution.
Nonetheless, the specific benefits of the program are listed below:
»Recognition of Honors achievement on transcripts and
at commencement
ceremonies
»Smaller than average class size (the average Honors
class is capped at 15
students) with
the best and most innovative faculty members
»An integrated core curriculum that will provide a
solid foundation for graduate and
professional
school studies
»Advanced or priority registration
»Designated honors residential accomodations
»Priority consideration in university programs
»Access to Honors cultural, social, and academic
activities
