What Are Honors Options?


HONORS OPTIONS are university-level projects/papers that high achieving students complete during the course of a regular HCC college-level class, in addition to the regular workload, essentially turning the class into an "Honors" experience. The project should enrich the learning process for the individual student and, potentially, for the class as a whole. Students negotiate the project idea and criteria with the instructor, fill out the Option Form, and complete the project during the quarter according to the negotiated schedule. (Students must complete the the class with a grade of 3.5 or better in order to receive the Honors designation on their transcripts.)

Honors Option projects should be negotiated with the instructor prior to mid-term.

Students intending to graduate as Honors Scholars must complete at least one Honors Option project in Humanities (5 credits), one in Social Science (5 credits), and one in Math/Science (5 credits).
