Honors Curriculum
Designed by a national network of talented educators, our honors curriculum will prepare you for the scholastic rigor of a top 4-year institution. Our professors are experts in their fields who are excited to guide and inspire students in their pursuit of knowledge.
Within our curriculum, we focus on four elements to enhance your academic growth (inline with the objectives laid out by the National Collegiate Honors Council):
- Critical Thinking: Evaluating and addressing different points of view to become independent thinkers
- Analysis and Synthesis of a Broad Range of Materials: Exploring and contrasting different source materials to draw critical hypotheses
- Hypothesis Development and Research Methods: Using frameworks from different disciplines to produce innovative conclusions
- Effective Communication Skills: Written and oral communication, communication style, and idea presentation
Our aim is to create independent and critical thinkers who are able to demonstrate the ability to use knowledge and logic when discussing an idea—while considering the consequences of those ideas for themselves, others, and society.
Our goal is to ensure the successful transfer of as many credits as possible to a four-year college or university. Students are required to take a full time course load each semester, with the goal of completion in two years. To receive an Associate of Arts degree, students must complete 90 credit hours of coursework as stipulated by requirements laid out by CCS and American Honors.
