<p>Will take your advice and contact the Honors college beforehand so we can get their tour. Thanks for all your input on all these threads <<<</p>
<p>I don’t think the Honors College has a “tour” per se…but I do recommend visiting the offices in Nott Hall and making an appt with Dr. Sharpe if your child is interested in CBHP…he’s the director and VERY, VERY NICE. Right now, he’s also the “interim Dean” of the Honors College since Dr. Halli retired. If Dr. Sharpe is not available, his ass’t, Mrs. Batson (a former CBHP student herself and the mother of a few CBHP former students) knows a LOT about the program and can answer nearly any question. She’s like his “right hand”. All the people who work in the Honors College office are very nice and helpful…so don’t be afraid to stop by.</p>
<p>Dr. Jacqueline Morgan is the director of the Fellows program, so if that is of interest, make an appt to talk to her. </p>
<p>The Honors College is now producing a magazine - Mosaic - which is wholly written and edited by Honors students. My DS1 has an article in the premier issue. :)</p>
<p>I would look over the list of some Honors Classes that are currently being offered (I’ll find the link) and ask the Honors College if you can “sit in” on some classes. Hope this link works… <a href=“http://honors.cbhp.ua.edu/uploads/forms/Current%20Students/honorscourses_fall2009.pdf[/url]”>http://honors.cbhp.ua.edu/uploads/forms/Current%20Students/honorscourses_fall2009.pdf</a></p>
<p>Re…Honors College and Honors classes…</p>
<p>UA Honors College has 3 Honors Programs…a student must apply…see the website for details… <a href=“http://honors.cbhp.ua.edu/[/url]”>http://honors.cbhp.ua.edu/</a> </p>
<p>UHP - University Honors Program - UH courses are varied and many fulfill Gen Ed/Core Curriculum requirements. A 28+ ACT (1250 M+CR SAT) and 3.3 GPA is required for admittance.</p>
<p>IHP - International Honors Program - A 28+ ACT & 3.3 GPA is required for admittance. </p>
<p>CBHP - Computer-Based Honors Program - only 40 students chosen each year after submitting application and essays. About 60 finalists are brought in for a 2-day interview. Average ACT is 33. Many (but not most) are NMF. I have a son in CBHP, so if you have any questions about it, I probably could answer them.</p>
<p>I know this might be confusing but there are a few types of Honors classes…There are the departmental Honors classes…which are listed in their department sections (such as Math, Chem, Philosophy, etc)…and there are University Honors Classes, International Honors Classes, and Computer-Based Honors Classes. The UH, IHP, CBHP classes are under the Honors College umbrella, while the others are under their own departments.</p>
<p>Some of the UHP classes are offered each semester, and some are not.</p>
