<p>yea,darkdream, but I want to know the “fact” ^^"</p>
<p>Yeah, im curious about this also. What does it mean when you are accepted to the honors program?</p>
<p>I graduated from UCLA’s College Honors Program in 2004 after transferring from a UC school. I highly recommend participating in the program because participants receive priority enrollment and a special graduation ceremony honoring a couple hundred students who complete the program. Participants are also able to enroll in Honors Collegium classes that explore interesting subjects in a creative way, taught in a small classroom setting. For instance, I took a class on Zen Buddhism and quantum mechanics; this class also satisfied a physics general education requirement. </p>
<p>Transfer students need to complete 28 units in order to complete the program. Since some upper division seminar classes are eligible for College Honors credit, I was able to complete the program by only taking two Honors Collegium classes.</p>
<p>In order to join the program, you need to have at least a 3.5 cumulative transfer GPA and you must submit an application before June 1, 2009. You can submit your application through MyUCLA.

<p>just an FYI for all those that are thinking about it for this year, they took away the advantage of priority enrollment so you can nix that out of possible pros.</p>
<p>28 units, WOO, It means we have to take 7 classes more. Will it offer me better job opportunities?</p>
<p>i don’t think they look at it as 28 units more, instead it’s 28 units of honors classes as oppose to 28 units of non-honors courses that you would have taken anyways.</p>
<p>I don’t think the College Honors Program will offer you better job opportunities. I did several on-campus interviews with investment-banking and consulting companies when I was at UCLA, and my interviewers never asked me about the College Honors Program; instead, they seemed more interested in GPA, relevant experience, leadership positions in clubs, and personality. But if you are interested in networking, the College Honors Program might be helpful because a decent number of participants end up going to the top graduate schools or working for good companies.</p>
<p>Although 28 units sounds like a lot, with careful planning you might not have to take seven “extra” classes. In my case, every class I took for College Honors credit filled either a GE or major requirement, so I would have taken those classes anyway. You can search the master list of honors credit courses in order to determine whether you can take a class that will satisfy a major requirement and a College Honors requirement.
