<p>Do you have to be in the honors program to get an honors in your major? What is the difference?</p>

<p>No, you don’t have to be in Honors to earn Honors in the Major. Indeed, you can do both, however.</p>

<p>See: [The</a> Florida State University | FSU Honors Program](<a href=“http://honorsinthemajor.fsu.edu/]The”>http://honorsinthemajor.fsu.edu/)

While admission to the University Honors Program is open only to freshmen who have been accepted into the program, the Honors in the Major Program is open to all qualified FSU students. As a research institution rooted in the liberal arts tradition, FSU developed the program to encourage students to explore their major discipline in greater depth by completing a research or creative project.</p>

<p>The Honors in the Major program provides students with the opportunity to learn from faculty members who are expers in their field. While many students conduct traditional research**, the program also supports the creative endeavors of those students in majors such as Creative Writing, Dance, Film, Music, Studio Art, and Theatre. Upon successful completion and defense of your honors thesis, you will graduate “with honors” in your major-- a distinction that is announced during the commencement exercises and is cited on your official transcripts.

<p>This is an excellent way to further explore your major.</p>
