A couple of weeks ago, I talked to a young man who just graduated from an honor’s college at his (very large) university. He was an English major – not the world’s most “employable” field. Yet by mid-summer he had several job offers, and is now in Japan teaching English at a respected high school. He got that job – and as it turns out, all his interviews – as result of faculty recommendations - professors in the honors college who knew him, believed in him, made calls on his behalf and referred him to their various connections.
Don’t underestimate the value of having an Honor’s College on your resume - or the benefits that can come with it.
