Do you still major in whatever you want but you take harder classes in that curriculum?

How much better is an honors degree, or do you get a regular degree with an honors award?

You're still graduating from LSU at the end, so I don't see the point.

No, they'll give you an aptitude test and assign you a major in accordance with what fits you best.

It's pointless besides the fact you get to graduate with the honors chord.

Just a waste of time really unless you want to only have classes with people on your level intellectually

take 20 hrs of honors classes, and you can get sophomore honors distinction, and extra tassel to wear at graduation....

You end up being better prepared for life because you will learn a lot more stuff through the Honors College.

I was in Honors college for like the first year or maybe 3 semesters if I recall. I had actually completely forgot I was in honors college until this thread reminded me that it existed. So yea, didnt do much for me.

It let me schedule first and live in East Laville.

I did it for 2 years. Took HNRS 2000 and the honors versions of chemistry.
