Each semester, the College offers a number of “Honors Courses.” These courses are part of a degree program designed to challenge and enrich the academic experiences of students who excel academically. Honors Program students benefit in many ways with classes that:
- Provide challenging course work and exciting class discussions;
- Are smaller in size, and offer more one-on-one interaction with instructors;
- Encourage independent research and work;
- Include assignments of greater complexity and depth;
- Enable participants to meet, work and socialize with other students of similar ability and resourcefulness.
A big plus to being
an Honors Program student: The designation of honors courses on your
transcript! Four-year colleges and universities look for this recognition
of higher achievement.
If you are interested in the HCCC Honors Program, you should
have a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0, and have at least a 3.25 for your
most recent coursework. New students who wish to pursue Honors courses are
admitted to the program based upon results of admission
testing.
