Our Mission:

The Honors program at AACC maintains academic rigor while allowing flexibility for qualified students in all majors to participate in an Honors curriculum and receive recognition for their achievements. Students admitted to the Honors program are challenged to develop their full potential through a variety of educational activities, by working with dedicated faculty, and by taking classes with other highly motivated and gifted students. The Honors program provides interdisciplinary learning environments that enable Honors students to collaborate in learning, think critically, communicate effectively, and lead ethically.

Please see the Honors student handbook for admission and graduation requirements, important information for current and prospective Honors students, forms, and for an Honors student application.
