<p>I got accepted into the honors program, but I'm not sure I want to go into it.</p>

<p>What are the major pros and cons? I know that you get to pick classes first, but is it really difficult to get the classes you want in the first place? (I'm an econ major, btw)</p>

<p>Also, how will the honors program be benefit me after undergrad? How beneficial is it when you're trying to get a job?</p>

<p>I think there are a lot of threads you can find that address this issue pretty exhaustively, but let me just make a quick comment:</p>

<p>The priority enrollment is an enormous advantage. Yes, it can be difficult to get the times you want for classes if you’re a freshman or sophomore. Priority enrollment means that you have complete control over your schedule.</p>

<p>What matters most of the time in obtaining a job is experience. You can most likely gain this with proper networking within the honors program.</p>

<p>I’ve bolded the “benefits” CHP claims that I believe will possibly help you in getting a job after college. I’m sure there’s benefits outside of this webpage that aren’t listed.</p>
