Overview
What does it mean?
Students take on an extra project in a course they are taking. This is not a project for extra credit and you do you receive a grade on it. It is for students who go above and beyond the designated course to prepare them for upper division classes at the four-year level. There is no limit to the number of honors classes you can take.
Honors courses can include:
- Astronomy
- Biology
- Environmental Science
- History
- Math
Or other subjects as long as you get prior approval from your instructor.
Benefits of Being an Honors Student
- Priority Registration
- Honors designation on your diploma
- Prepares you for upper division UC/CSU course work.
