Participation in Honors Honors education provides an unusually rich and challenging experience for capable and motivated undergraduate students. Honors education is not merely a more intensive general education or a more strenuous program in a major. Rather, it attempts to link the broad university perspective with the specific concentration associated with a major. Students who pursue honors education at Brigham Young University will be offered the challenge of honors courses that form a part of their general education, as well as an intensive experience in their major. To graduate from BYU students must meet not only the requirements of a major department but also the requirements of general education and religion.
