What is the ECS Academic Honors Program?
The ECS Academic Honors Program is really a collection of programs run by each department (CS/EE) for each major (CS/SE. EE/CE/TE). The Academic Honors programs are official programs run by UTD. These programs allow students to take certain upper division classes in their major and receive ‘major honors’ credit for them. Depending upon the department (CS for CS/SE, EE for EE/CE/TE) the format of the special courses varies. There are several benefits for participating in the program, see this FAQ for a list. One of the key benefits of participation in the program is the ability to advertise your enrollment on your resume for future job applications and graduate school applications.
