Having taken honors courses in high school, I feel as if I am prepared for college and my Honors courses at FSU. The main difference I have noticed so far is teachers on the college level expect more from their students. College brings freedom, but at the same time it brings more responsibility that may be an adjustment for some. Also, college Honors courses move at a more accelerated pace, which definitely keeps me interested and challenged.
Normally, the Honors Program offers a set rotation of courses each year. From time to time, there may be exceptions, but students can ordinarily plan their requirements in the Honors Program using this list.
