<p>A couple of new threads about the College Honors Program have been created in the past few days. Please search for some of them. In short, no priority enrollment. Benefits? None worth mentioning in my personal assessment.</p>
<p>Specifically, getting into the College Honors Program is not difficult. Allowing everybody eligible to have priority enrollment would probably mean giving a large student population priority enrollment, which defeats the meaning of priority. I believe that’s why the program once upon a time did have priority enrollment, but scrapped that.</p>
<p>There are no core requirements that I am aware of. I believe you just have to take a certain number of “Honors-content” classes per quarter, which may or may not be easy to fit into your schedule. That said, some courses are offered in their Honors version (e.g. Chemistry 20AH instead of Chemistry 20A). Even then, the benefits are hard to see, as some Honors professors are worse at teaching, may expect you to know things you don’t, and whatnot. Then there are specific courses that are Honors Content, such as some (maybe all?) fiat lux classes.</p>
