<p>At the risk of offending any department or the UHC, I would like to add that the value of the honors courses might depend a bit on the course of study. For example, my son was in engineering. There were a few honors courses for freshmen, but that was about it. However, it really didn’t matter that much because the engineering school had a very prescribed set of courses and they did a great job of advising their own students. I imagine the same could be said of other schools within the university. If I had to guess, I would think that honors courses were the most helpful for students in the College of Arts and Sciences.</p>
