Honors classes in the business college are limited to microeconomics, macroeconomics, and accounting. After that you’re stuck with the masses, and you will only be able to Honors option it, which means a written contract with a professor giving you extra work so it counts as honors.

It’s arbitrary if the “honors” professors are better. In some cases, the honors version of a course can be easier than the regular. (I heard this about microeconomics last semester, in which Roussel’s class completed 5 more chapters of material or so than the honors version)

And lastly, to be quite honest, Wall Street isn’t exactly considering LSU a hotbed for recruiting. That said, if you work hard, and take advantage of your opportunities, you will be in great shape to gather some work experience and get an MBA from a top institution that recruits. But in this economy, who knows what it will be like a decade from now, even the “elite” college graduates are having trouble finding jobs with I-banks.
