Class sizes for Honors students

<p>Keep in mind that there are two types of honors classes: those run by the Honors College and those run by departments.</p>

<p>Honors College classes are capped at 15 students. Departmental honors classes are larger, but not large. So, for example, last semester my son took an Honors College class called Moral Forum and there were 11 students in his section. He also took a departmental honors course called Honors Microeconomics, which had about 30 students. His English 103 class (Advanced English Comp-- Comic Books and Cartoons: Analyzing the Political and Social Arguments of Visual Rhetoric) had 18 students. By the way, he said this Eng 103 section was his best class and the instructor, Melissa Hull, was awesome.</p>

<p>As for how many honors classes one can take at a time, I’m not sure if there is a restriction. My son said that two or three at a time is plenty for him. Besides which, required general ed course requirements and other pre-requisites make it impossible to take an all-honors load, I believe.</p>
