<p>Actually even if you are not admitted into the Honors Program, after your first semester at UD, you can take Honors courses if you have a high enough GPA (minimum 3.0) and spots in the honors courses are available. My D did this for a number of select courses (she was a nursing major) and found it very educational and worthwhile (and it looked good on her transcript-but these courses do require additional work). In addition after you have taken I believe two Honors courses, get high enough grades and professor recommendations, you can then apply for formal admission into the Honors Program if you are still interested in doing so. Only one admission application is required (if you apply to the Honors Program and don’t get accepted you are still automatically considered for regular admission). Hope this info is helpful. Again best wishes to you.</p>
