Benefits of an honors course include smaller class sizes in a learning studio environment. Honors courses offer intellectual engagement, collaboration, discussion, reflection, creativity, and an opportunity to reach higher and dig deeper into subjects. General honors course offerings are listed below. To view specific honors course offerings, type “Honors Course” in the Attribute box when browsing classes in your My JCCC account.

Course offerings will change each semester. Some commonly recurring classes are listed below, but honors students will need to confirm final schedules with the honors office. Honors courses may also be completed as course contracts.

There are a limited number of spaces in honors courses and enrollment preference will be given to students in the Honors Program. As an honors student, you are eligible for pre-enrollment. Pre-enrollment privileges enable you to enroll in your classes a few days before open enrollment begins to ensure that you get into your preferred class sections before they fill up.
