“It not only builds your resume for transferring but also provides you with a completely different type of learning. You’re in small classes, you get to know each of the other students that you’re in a class with, and you get to really dive deep into the content of the course,” says Theodore Courtois, ACC Honors Student Organization president.
About the ACC Honors Program
ACC’s Honors Program offers core curriculum courses with an emphasis on in-depth research and discussion in small classes limited to 15 students, taught by faculty who enhance their students’ academic experiences with special projects, field trips, guest lectures, and a variety of creative and experiential learning opportunities. The seminar environment allows students close interaction with faculty and other highly motivated Honors students.
The Honors Program also offers paid internships, scholarships, and leadership and service opportunities. Students who take Honors courses gain a competitive edge in transferring to four-year colleges and universities; each course receives an Honors designation on ACC transcripts.
