Honors College

<p>Is Hutton's Honors College the same thing as the Kelley Business Honors Program if I am accepted under the HHC Direct Admit for a business major? </p>

<p>No. Kelley Honors is something you will apply for during the spring of your freshman year. <a href=“Undergraduate | Bachelor's Degree in Business | Indiana Kelley”>Undergraduate | Bachelor's Degree in Business | Indiana Kelley;

<p>Being in Hutton does allow you to take the freshman business honors courses though. </p>

<p>Only freshman business honors courses? Are you put in the regular kelley track after freshman year in terms of class selection? </p>

<p>You’re not put on a different track sophomore year if you don’t join Kelley Honors, you were just never on the Kelley Honors track to begin with. I should have said being in Hutton allows you to take pre-Icore honors business courses. Hutton and Kelley Honors are two completely separate programs; Being in Hutton just allows you to take certain business honors courses. </p>

<p>Ok thank you. Is it also available to double major in finance and information & process management under hutton?</p>

<p>Hutton does not grant any degrees. Each class of freshman, sophs, jrs and srs has probably more than 700 students in Hutton; around 200 are also in Kelley (a lot of them are also in Kelley Honors, which is much more valuable for Kelley students than being in Hutton). Hutton Honors students are mostly in the College of Arts and Sciences and University Division students that don’t have an official major yet, but students from any school at IU can join if they have the statistics. Kelley honors, on the other hand, is only about 150 students per class and all the students are business majors. </p>

<p>The biggest advantage of Hutton Honors is that it makes scheduling easier and makes you eligible to take a lot of more interesting classes with top professors, both in Kelley and in COAS. You can also get scholarships and grants for a variety of programs from Hutton. For business majors, being in Hutton allows you to take a lot of honors versions of Kelley Icore prerequisite classes (but not Honors Icore and a few other upper-level business honors classes; you need to be in Kelley honors to do that). K204 and X202 are excellent Kelley honors that you are allowed to take if you are in Hutton, as the classes are very small compared to non-honors versions and for other reasons too. </p>

<p>bthomp1, you said “The biggest advantage of Hutton Honors is that it makes scheduling easier…”. How does being in HH make scheduling easier? Because you have more course options? We were disappointed to find that being in HH does not give the students any sort of priority for registration date/time.</p>

<p>In previous years HH students were given the earliest dates for freshman summer orientation. That translates into easier scheduling. I don’t know about this year. After the summer orientation all students register based upon their credit hours. I would guess that many HH students come in with AP and other credits which push them to the front of the freshman class and likely before their cohort for remaining years with the exception of students that take summer courses. </p>

<p>DS, as a freshman, was among the first of his HH floor friends to register because he came in with 25 plus credits from AP credits, Spanish credits from the placement test, a couple of dual courses he took in high school, and an IU class he took in high school. He’s still among the first of this same group of friends to register. </p>

<p>I’ve heard a lot about the kelley workshops. Are those provided with HH or Kelley Honors? Also, you mentioned that I still have to take certain I-Core classes. Why do I need to take those if I am going to be a direct admit?</p>

<p>Being in Hutton can help with Kelley scheduling a number of ways. </p>

<p>Kelley honors classes that are the equivalent of K201, X201, A201, and A202 all meet only two days a week, and in sections of only 30 or so for the first two and fifty or fewer for the second two. Compare that to the non-honors versions, which meet in huge lecture halls and always meet three days a week, with one of the days often being Friday. The honors versions won’t meet on Fridays. Recommendations from professors of the honors classes probably carry more weight than non-honors professors for references for admission to business honors. </p>

<p>Also, you can take honors colloquia instead of survey classes in COAS to help fill out your gen eds. Survey classes are often huge and often meet three days a week. The honors classes tend to be less than thirty people and rarely meet Fridays, and usually have easy grading. The big survey classes tend to have heavily weighted departmental midterms where you can have a bad day and hurt your grade. The colloquia often don’t even have exams, just small papers. You get to interact with the top students and professors in these classes. And it is always good to have your Fridays free. </p>

<p>You can also get very detailed descriptions of course content and required assignments well in advance of signing up for the class for many of the honors classes. Here are descriptions for Fall 2014 honors courses, including the cross-listed courses. More info will probably be added for many of the classes.</p>

<p>All Kelley students have to take a series of pre-ICORE classes, as well as the ICORE semester itself</p>
