<p>You have to take 8 honors courses over the four years, along with a capstone project of some kind. Very easy to find honors course in the liberal arts. In the sciences or engineering you have to be a little creative. For example, a science or engineering course could be counted as an honors course if the prof allows you to write an extra paper, for example. S was able as a freshman this past semester to take 3 honors courses (calculus, chemistry, and a freshmena writing course) and was able to do well. So now he has 3.5 years to find just 5 more.</p>
<p>Yes, over on the west side of campus they are building an honors college complex that will include dorms and classrooms. Honors college students will not be required to live there, but may be tempted by a gorgeous new building, AC, etc. S likes the convenience of Northeast to his engineering/science courses, hasn’t decided yet if he will go over to the new digs.</p>
