Requirements:
You must apply!
You must have 60 or *fewer* TAMU hours
You need 3.5 cumulative GPR when you apply
To complete:
"The Honors Fellows plan requires approximately 9 Honors courses and a capstone experience (30 credit hours total). At least three courses must be taken in the University Core Curriculum, and four courses must be taken at the 300 an 400 level."
Honors classes are not supposed to be harder, but rather enriched.
There exist some honors classes. But *any* class can become honors. Just ask the professor what would enrich the class, and then apply for the honors classification before week 12.
3 classes must be part of the university core curriculum, so plan ahead!
Also you may take research credit with faculty for honors credit (491 or 485 not sure which - check when you register)
