Prospective Students

The Honors Program offers core curriculum courses in small seminar-like classes that feature in-depth class discussion, projects, research, presentations, and other activities designed to promote scholastic excellence. Classes frequently 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.
