ACC Honors Program

Benefits

The Honors Program offers core curriculum courses in small seminar-like classes which emphasize class discussion, projects, research and presentations. Classes often are focused to allow students to explore areas of interest within that focus.

Honors classes also enhance transferability and prepare students for upper division classes at the university level.

Upon completion of an Honors course, ACC transcripts will reflect Honors status.

MAIN FEATURES:

• Enhanced University Admission
• Small Class Sizes (9-15 Students)
• Extra-curricular Activities
• Enhanced Resume
• Scholarships Offered
• Specialized Course Topics

Honors Program Articulation Agreements:

ACC's Honors Program has an articulation agreement with Texas State University-San Marcos that allows ACC's Honors Program students to be accepted into Texas State's Mitte Honors Program. Texas State will accept some transfer credits for completing the program to graduate in the Mitte Honors program at Texas State. Upon acceptance to Texas State, contact Mitte Honors at honors@txstate.edu for further information.

ACC's Honors Program has an articulation agreement with Angelo State University that allows ACC's Honors Program students automatic acceptance into ASU's Honors Program upon their acceptance to ASU. Contact Dr. Nick Flynn at nick.flynn@angelo.edu for further information. Angelo State University has recently aligned with the Texas Tech University system and we are excited about the additional opportunities this will provide our students who join the Angelo State University Honors Program after transferring from ACC.
