<p>The value of the benefits will depend of the individual. There is no priority registration, but you are able to check out books for the entire quarter and receive counseling from the honors department. </p>
<p>What is your major? Many students don’t realize major requirements will fulfill honors requirements. Check the honors master list to determine how many courses you will need. As a math/econ major myself, ECON 103, 121, and 122, along with Math 170A, 115AH, and 131AH will cover 25 units of honors credit, leaving only 1 honors collegium course (as a transfer) outside the major. On the other hand, some majors don’t offer many honors classes and so it will be difficult to complete the program.</p>
<p>Check out the honors collegium course list; Jared Diamond and others teach smaller, more intimate courses. But whether it is worth the effort to you will depend on how many honors units you receive in your major and over your GE courses.</p>
