If there’s one thing that drives some students, it’s the recognition of their hard academic work!
This is why honors programs are a great way to acknowledge students’ academic achievements. These programs also provide a different college experience than what is offered to regular students at a university.
However, honors programs also help institutions with their commitment and retention rates, which is not necessarily an issue but has raised some controversy.
Institutions began to see this as an opportunity to expand their acceptance rates and, consequently, their financial gains by increasing the size of honors programs. This growth may compromise the exclusive, special experience intended for honors students, as honors programs should remain small.
