College students must be enrolled in the college transfer track to participate in the honors program.

With the specific courses that are required for each of the different vocation and health science programs, and the strict timeline required of those students, it is hard to design a course schedule that will benefit those students. The point system that is utilized to direct our competitive admissions for those programs doesn’t allow for any benefit of taking honors classes either. We are putting together a workgroup to try and navigate these problems so that the honors course offerings can be expanded in the future.

• Complete at least 12 SHC of honors coursework: 4 honors designated academic classes
• Academic classes from all departments will be offered.

• Each completed honors course is recognized on the transcript.
• Upon successful completion of the program, “honors program graduate” is noted on the transcript.
• After graduation, an honors program emblem will be placed on the degree.
• Students receive special recognition at graduation.

• “B” or better in all honors coursework
• Cumulative GPA must remain at 3.5 or higher.
