I recently have been accepted into the Honors College and I was wondering should I do it. I will be an accounting major and I have heard that Accounting is already a packed major that the Honors college work would be too much. I also heard that there are not any real benefits or graduating with honors. Also for any honors program the thesis project just seems to be a lot of extra work. So I was wondering if I should really participate in the honors college, or is it just not worth it? Thanks for any advance and help!
@shamrockirish I’m back again with some more advice 
I was an honors graduate in undergrad but my major was liberal arts (psychology). For liberal arts majors (the soft sciences) I think there is more benefit to being in honors because Honors makes the coursework more rigorous and an honors thesis involving original research is required --that can be as time-consuming as a part-time job, a lot of work but rewarding. However, I believe that for pre-professional majors like Accounting and business and for the hard sciences (STEM majors) the coursework is already rigorous and challenging, so you would not want or need to be more challenged in honors. Remember also it’s important to have a high GPA to get a job in accounting. It may be more difficult to achieve a high gpa in honors, not just because the courses are more difficult, but because you will be spending the extra time doing honors coursework and thesis, time that could be better spent on achieving mastery on your ‘non-honors’ Accounting course work, which with a higher gpa will hopefully land you a job opportunity.
