Honors Program

NHCC Honors Program invites you to get more out of your college education through the North Hennepin Community College Honors Experience. Participate in a stimulating world of scholarship, critical thinking, and creativity. Honors students are entitled to priority registration, faculty mentors, and scholarship preparation assistance.

Much more than this, though, Honors is about friendship, self-discovery, and community. Take a minute to explore the possibilities open to you as an Honors scholar and, if you meet eligibility requirements, submit your application to one or all of the Honors experiences.  You’re invited to make the most of your collegiate experience. Will you accept the challenge?

Honors Program
Members of the Honors Program share a passion for learning and a desire to expand academic and personal horizons. Honors Program students benefit from:

Enriching Curriculum
Honors curriculum is available in a variety of ways including courses that are taught more in-depth, seminars that focus on a specific topic, and the ability to add an honors experience to
virtually all courses (dependent upon faculty approval).

Faculty Mentors
Honors Program students have the opportunity to have the guidance of faculty members in their academic career.

Honors Transcripted
Each honors experience will be given an honors designation on a student’s official transcript. This allows for official and easy record keeping of honors earned.

Priority Registration
Honors Program students have the opportunity to register on the first day registration begins each semester.

Professional Conferences
Honors Program students may attend professional conferences in areas of interest, when funding is available.

Scholarly Seminars
Honors Seminars are one-credit courses that focus on a specific topic and allow students explore a topic more in-depth than is possible in regular courses.
