A little late to respond, but I just thought I’d log in and see what the discussion is this year. Mine is a freshman at UTK that is in the nursing major and is an Honors program. She is carrying 18 credits this semester, is in a club travel sport, 3 other extracurriculars and is not having any problem maintaining excellent grades. Keep in mind that for the first 2 years they are mostly taking general eds anyway, so she could do the Honors program and then not continue in future years if it turned out to be too much.
