<p>I believe that when people hear “Honors College” they assume it is similar to other “Honors Colleges” at other universities. At Pitt, the only perk is the honors housing as anyone can take honor courses as long as they have permission. </p>
<p>If you look at Penn State’s Schreyer honors college, there are course requirements for each year including a thesis in order to graduate. There is also a minimum GPA to maintain or you can be tossed out of the honors college. Pitt’s UHC doesn’t have any of those requirements.</p>
