TPS Honors Courses – Boost Your Competitive Transcript or Scholarship App

When you receive a transcript from TPS with “Honors” in a course title, it is supported by academically objective standards that promote the credibility of the official TPS transcript for a competitive college or scholarship application.

TPS receives many requests to list a course as “Honors” on a transcript. While there is no universal definition of an “Honors” course, the credentialed academic expectation is that an Honors course is differentiated from a non-honors course by objectively defined academic standards (i.e., it is not credible to simply label a course as “Honors” without academically objective differentiation).

How does TPS differentiate Honors courses?

• More in-depth and complex analysis required to answer advanced questions or set up advanced calculations.
• More sources of information must be synthesized to answer advanced questions or set up advanced calculations.
• Evaluation is more thorough and rigorous in all topics, and there are additional topics.

For each academic subject, there are specific additional details about what differentiates courses within that subject in TPS.

What are the benefits of TPS Honors courses?

• May be weighted more highly or even required in competitive scholarships or college applications.
• Better preparation for advanced courses (e.g., AP courses, college in-major courses).
• More competitive transcript.
