Overview

The Honors Program provides opportunities for students and faculty to engage in stimulating and challenging intellectual activities throughout the semester. Recent high school graduates, returning adults, continuing students, and transfer students may apply. For admission to the Honors Program, entering high school graduates who were ranked in the top 15 percent of their class are eligible to apply, as are continuing or transfer students with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.25 for 12 college level hours. Students enrolled in the Honors Program are required to take at least one Honors course each semester. Other students may petition to take Honors courses and receive Honors credit.

Applications are available in the Honors Office (SS-129) or by contacting the Honors Coordinator at (602) 243-8122.

Benefits of Honors Program participation include Presidents' scholarships (for eligible high school graduates), fee waivers for continuing students, scholarship recommendations and eligibility for special Honors Foundation scholarships, campus luncheons and dinners with Honors students, and provisional membership in Phi Theta Kappa, the international honor society for the two-year colleges.
