<p>I'm a freshman at Carthage College and I'm enrolled in the honors program, but I have two options. I can either graduate All College Honors, which means all of my classes are honors, or I graduate Honors in Major. To make a class "honors" at Carthage, you have to fill out an Honors Contract with the professor and agree to do the extra "honors" work. Here's the description of both:
Honors students can graduate with two kinds of Honors All College Honors or Honors in the Major. All-College Honors includes Honors in the Major. Honors in the Major requires several things including Honors Contracts in two upper-level classes in the major, a rating of excellent on the senior thesis, and a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.5. The requirements for All-College Honors consist of three components: Foundation, Concentration, and Integration. The Foundation Component encompasses introductory level Honors classes including Honors Western Heritage; the Concentration Component consists of the requirements for Honors in the Major; and the Integration Component involves an Honors Carthage Symposium and Honors Senior Colloquium. When a student graduates having satisfied the necessary requirements for All College Honors or Honors in the Major, this rank is included on their diploma and their transcript. This accomplishment is separate from Latin Honors such as cum laude which are entirely dependent on grade point average.</p>
<p>With possibly double majoring in poli-sci and mathematics, being involved in Habitat for Numanity, Model UN, baton twirling, and yearbook, will All College Honors be too much to handle? Is one more beneficial than the other?</p>
