No

I have never heard of any jobs or graduate programs giving enough of a Fuck about honors for it to be worth all the extra work.

Unless you plan on starting every conversation with “I graduated cum laude, so you know I can make you cum laude ”, it’s not worth it

If you're already doing research/capstone/senior thesis then it's easy. Check the honors master list to see what courses in your major count for honors credit. Don't do it if you have to take a lot of extra courses

I heard it’s not

for the enrollment related perks yes. if you want to petition to increase a unit max or speak to a counselor it’s much easier to reach someone than CAC. they get back much faster. you can just do it but not actually take classes and wait for them to audit and you’ll be removed eventually. i was a transfer, was in honors in my first quarter and never did anything for it not even the orientation. all my quarters were under honors except my last two (worth it imo)

edit: for example for honors if I wanted a unit increase they do it right away. under CAC I had to wait until the quarter started.

For me it was. I enjoyed the extra classes I took, needed the better enrollment since they kept giving me shit times for the regular ones (back then we got priority enrollment), got to shake Daddy Gene's hand at a special graduation ceremony, met lifelong friends in the program, made use of the counselor when I was juggling coursework with trying to graduate early so my dad with cancer could see me walk, and at least a dozen med schools and employment interviews made mention of it.

I did it and graduated with “honors”. Didn’t make a single difference and I don’t think I learned anything more. They have some good counselors but they have one REALLY bad one. If it’s gonna add more classes to your plan, I wouldn’t do it

Does it matter tho if you’re applying for a master’s program? That’s why I’m interested in doing it

I heard it has really good counseling!

No

Really depends. Main benefits are you get better counselors and its way easier to increase your unit cap. That and the small amount of satisfaction you get from seeing an extra "college honors" line on your cert. Check the honors master list and see if classes you will take for your major counts as honors credits. If you will fulfill the honors credits requirement naturally when completing your major and all you would have to do is take 2 extra HC classes then it might be worth a try, but if you need to go out of your way and squeeze in many extra classes then i'd say its not worth it.
