<p>What is class size for undergrads?</p>
<p>Is it different for the honors programs?</p>
<p>Completely depends on the class. Some intro-level classes that many students take (like calculus) can have 200+. Other classes, particularly upper-level, might only have 10 or 20. My last semester I was in one class with 190 students and also one with just 12.</p>
<p>Honors seminars are limited to 20 students. H-versions of classes are sometimes (but not always) smaller than their regular counterparts.</p>
<p>Sounds like the Honors Seminars are the way to go for small classes.</p>
<p>My son loves his small Honors Seminar this semester. He said it's very discussion-oriented. Another of his classes has over 200 people in it. The other classes are somewhere in between.</p>
<p>The intro classes (the CORE classes) are the ones that have the biggest classes. After you get past them (or get AP credit for them), classes are more manageable in size. One of D's German classes this semester has 12 people. She loved the Honors Seminars she took last year, except one--the teacher was very boring, and never learned the names of the 18 people in her class. She got special permission to take 2 honors seminars first semester, and then took one of the required ones and the one about Women in Music second semester. Even in the larger classes, with a little effort, you can get to know your professor and have them know you by name (if you want to).</p>
<p>D had her first physics lab of the semester....there are 10 people in the class; she's the only female :)</p>

<p>Nice username. :) The class size for undergrads are typically larger in the introduction level courses(100-200 level courses). Depending on the size of the lecture hall, I'd say 300-500 students is not too far off. My psychology course was in a huge lecture hall in the Biology Psychology building and then my Microeconomics course had at least 300 students in the Woods building. However, I heard as you reach your junior year and are finish with all your cores, then the class sizes get smaller.</p>
