You are eligible to take honors classes as a freshman if you choose to, you don’t have to get permission to do so.

Taking honors classes at the college level is not like in high school, to show rigor. Classes at Pitt will be rigorous even without being honors, especially in science and engineering.

You can take some of them if the subject interests you, or you want to be in a smaller class. But you don’t have to.

It’s up to you, this honors college is not making you take a certain core group of classes, or a minimum number of honors classes.

I think the scholarships are awarded by the honors college, so if you are honors eligible you can be reviewed for scholarships.
