HP Classes

As a member of the Honors Program, you'll get access to approximately 75 HP-only classes each academic year.  What are Honors Program classes like?  Are they harder than regular Georgia Tech classes?  Honors Program classes are different, but they aren't necessarily harder.  

We welcome students from every major on campus, so the intent of HP classes is not to offer a more rigorous version of the content (i.e., you don't have to be exemplary at physics or philosophy to excel in the HP), but to offer a more engaged and active-learning approach to the content.  You'll learn the same writing, math, and lab science in the HP, but you will do so in a smaller class, with more discussion, more engagement with your peers and professors, and/or supplemental instruction and activities not part of a non-HP section of the class.

HP classes can take lots of different forms.  All are taught by high-quality instructors and involve some kind of active learning component such as discussions, group projects, or simulations.  Many of them are smaller in size than their non-HP counterparts and may include supplemental enrichment activities (guest speakers, field trips) not found in the non-HP sections.  Not ALL HP classes have ALL of these characteristics, but most have several of them.  HP classes usually come in one of three forms:

  • a small, HP-only section,
  • a small, HP-only section cross-listed with a small non-HP section, or
  • a small, HP-only section cross-listed with a large non-HP section that is paired with a smaller HP-only lab, recitation, or studio.

Class Registration

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SCHEDULE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. The definitive schedule is available on OSCAR (select "Schedule of Classes" and then the appropriate semester). 

Students are urged to exercise caution when using external sites such as GT Scheduler, Coursicle, or CourseOff, as they are not maintained by Georgia Tech and may include incorrect information.                          

There is a feature in OSCAR that will allow you to search for Honors Program classes being offered. Select "Honors Program" from the Attribute Type menu and it will bring up the HP classes being offered (make sure to select at least one subject first—selecting all subjects will bring up every HP class).
