what is the difference between B.Sc. And B.S. hons? and which one is better?
What awful advice unless you know which courses are required for the honours degree and even if you do it is still not great advice. For graduate school your going to be judged on your performance in relevant courses, GRE, and research experience not some title with unknown requirements. I doubt most schools take the time or care enough to take the time to figure out what constitutes an honours degree at school X. The best thing for him is to figure which relevant courses he has the likelihood of succeeding in based on his experiences and takes those courses and excel then use his extra time on obtaining relevant research or professional experience, not conforming to the requirements for an extra word on his degree.Choppy said:To know the difference in syllabus, the best thing to do is go check it out. Most schools have their calendars online these days. If you're ultimate goal is to get into graduate school and go on in academia, then the honours degree is usually the way to go.

This is just not a realistic situationChoppy said:My point is that all that research experience and/or extra time for entrance exams won't mean squat if the program doesn't qualify him or her for entrance into a graduate program.

Choppy said:This depends on the school.

Choppy said:My advice was to look up the courses listed for each in the course calendar of whatever program he or she is interested in. This is outlined in every calendar I've ever seen.
