Mom2aphysicsgeek: Does your student want UHP (University Honors Program) info, or Departmental Honors Program info? Re the UHP, as an incoming student w/ many of the ‘lower’ courses already completed, he might find it difficult (not in terms of content, but in terms of no-room-in-schedule) to complete the 18 UHP credit hours, because these are usually earned by taking UH mentoring courses and seminars (UH105, UH120, UH333, etc.), as well as the ‘lower’ division departmental honors courses (Honors Chem, Honors Calc, Honors Physics, Honors MicroEcon, Honors Psych, etc.). Look at the link I provided above for DEPARTMENTAL honors programs, and have him click on the appropriate link for his major (if it is one of the 15 listed), and there will be info on the departmental website on how to apply for honors credit for a class (called “Honors By Contract”). Note that all requests for H-b-C need to be put in before a class starts.
