How important is being in an Honors Program as an undergrad?

Can you drop out of honors program?

• Can you drop out of honors program? Can you drop out of honors program? I'm in the honors program at my college and I wanted to drop out of it. Cn you drop out? It's not that the classes are hard, it's just I don't want to take classes for that program. I'm already taking classes for dental school and other extra classes for other programs. Will honors program do any good for me if I'm trying to get into dental school? Should I drop out?

• Answer:

  The dental program would be designed per what's needed for that program. The honors program sounds as if you would be assigned classes that overlap with the dental program. Has the school appointed you a counselor to help with sorting out your schedules? The honors program might impress a future employer or look good on a wall. If that's not what you want, you need to talk with the school representative right away. If you aren't assigned your own counselor, you should call and make an appointment with the head of the dental school department. Don't just drop out without some explanation of what the consequences will be, and whether it will leave a bad report in your school records.
