Difference between a Bachlors degree and an Honours Degree

[Triple11]

Is it really worth an extra year of school and a huge research/thesis paper?

 

[leckett1]

yes. considering it will give you an advantage in your life and its only one year. like whats the harm in it? well i guess it depends on your financial situation

 

[Itsbackfliptime]

is that some sort of Canadian Master's degree?

 

[Badfish2]

^^because of the 'u' ?? clever.....

 

[Capt.Flannel]

or because of the extra year after a bachelor's degree... not everybody's out to get you Canadians.

 

[Badfish2]

I'm pretty sure he was poking fun at our spelling of words that don't require u's .. he's tricky like that

Are you looking to do further post graduate education? Like grad school, law school, med school? An honors degree will definitely give you an advantage when applying. But idk it can depend on the university... like here at Pitt you don't need to go to school an extra year. We have an honors college that you take courses from to get the honors degree.

wow good call....weird as fuck

Some questions you need to ask yourself: Am I in arts or science? What program am I in? Do I want to go through a graduate program? If the answers to all these questions are yes, then don't apply because you are an idiot; only 1 question is a yes or no.

I don't know where you're getting the extra year though, we have it in the 4 year program here, and everywhere else i was interested in.

you need the honors so that you can do the masters degree.
