I am contemplating on whether to enter the TCNJ honors program. I am afraid that the extra workload will get me frustrated but however, the program requirements don't seem that bad. Is it worth the trouble to enter the honors program?
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
· A student must complete at least 5 units (20 credits) of Honors study. The 5 units may be earned through coursework, study abroad, or independent research.
· Of the 5 units, one must be completed during the first semester in residence at TCNJ, as an Honors student. (Most incoming freshmen complete this requirement by enrolling in an Honors First Year Seminar.)
· Of the 5 units, one must be in philosophy or religion and one must meet the Colleges Global requirement. (No single course can be used to meet both of these requirements.)
· Most Honors courses meet Liberal Learning requirements; some meet major requirements.
· Departmental Honors projects can (upon approval by the Honors and Scholars Program Council) count toward the 5 units of Honors.
· 2 of the 5 units can be earned through honors-by-contract study. Honors-by-contract allows a student to complete a traditional course for honors credit, when the student and professor together agree to a set of enhancements (in research or performance) that raise the demands placed on the student to the Honors level.
· Study abroad may count toward College Honors, when approved in advance by the Honors Coordinator.
