The
Honors Program offers a challenging and demanding academic program in
which students and faculty form a learning community. Students are
expected to excel academically as they develop their skills in
composition, speech, independent research, and critical thinking. Honors Program faculty
members challenge students to explore their intellectual interests and potentials.
Students also work closely with assigned faculty mentors to gain
admission to four-year transfer institutions of their choice, and identify
and apply for transfer scholarships. Transfer to Four-Year Universities
