<p>D1 was offered admission to the Honors program at initial admission as a freshman. She had to write an extra essay (this was in 2004).</p>
<p>The program is excellent and allowed her outstanding access and small classes, if accelerated work. I strongly recommend it as well as doing research as an undergrad, another FSU strength.</p>
<p>The some benefits of Honors are listed here:</p>
<pre><code>* Smaller Classes: Honors sections of regular courses are generally limited to 25 students; honors seminars to 15 students
- Access to Faculty: While many lower division classes are taught by non-tenured instructors, honors classes are taught by tenured or tenure-track faculty. These teachers can become your mentors and advisors
- Great Peers: Because the classes are smaller, you can get to know other motivated, interesting people your own age
- Specialized Advisors: Our highly-trained honors advisors will work with you on an individual basis to achieve your unique academic and professional goals
- “Head-start” on Medical or Law School: You can compete to earn a place in the Honors Medical Scholars Program or the Honors Legal Scholars Program, two professional- track programs that are open only to students in the University Honors Program
- Study Abroad Grants: As an Honors student, you may apply for small grants to study abroad in one of FSU’s many international programs
- Honors-only Residence Hall: University Honors students may apply to live in Landis Hall, a premier, honors-only, residence hall that is right in the middle of campus
- Early Registration: University Honors students have the special privilege of being able to register for courses at the same time as seniors.
