Hi,

I hear people a lot of time saying B.A. with honors. What is the difference between simple B.A. and B.A. with honors?

An honours degree involves more intencsive studying, often or even always over a longer period of time. Details can vary from one university to another. The University of Toronto, for example, no longer offers non-honours dgrees. For some details, check their site,

In the UK you'll often find non-honours degrees are 3 years and honours degrees are 4 years. Honours degrees also involve studying at a higher (harder?) level.

Or an honours degree has more than one major. My first degree was an honours course over three years, but had two majors.
