<p>Penn State Univ. Honors College should be front loaded due to the type of students participating. PSU Honors has a lot of engineering,science, math and business students. Engineering is so demanding as a major that many opt out of honors programs elsewhere because they need to concentrate on their major; in fact, many engineering students, though brilliant and hard working, require 5 or even 6 years to complete their degree. Math, science and, to a lesser extent, business majors face a similiar demand within their major. Additionally, only the fittest survive in an engineering major at a rigorous school such as Penn State, so when they reach the upper level engineering courses every student and every course is honors level whether labeled as such or not.</p>
