The Honors Program at CCAC provides an academically challenging and enriching learning experience for highly motivated, academically prepared and intellectually curious students. The program is designed to nurture the development of global citizens through collaborative and active learning; independent investigation; cultural enrichment and sensitivity; creative and critical thought; leadership development; and service to others.
Students in Honors engage in academic enrichments that provide depth and breadth of understanding and application of knowledge. An Honors education fosters excellence, encouraging students to provide direction to their own learning. Honors courses and Honors contract projects undertaken with mentoring faculty provide enriched, personal learning experiences.
