Thinking about getting more out of your CCBC experience? The Honors College is one of the best ways to turn your classes into something more engaging, and more meaningful, while also opening doors far beyond the classroom.

Honors courses are designed for students who want more than just lectures. Expect smaller class sizes, discussion-based learning, research-focused projects, and professors who are deeply invested in your success.

But Honors College membership goes way beyond the classroom.

• Access to scholarships
• Opportunities for funded academic experiences such as the Honors Scholars Program, Summer Research Experiences, Winter Seminars, and Honors Independent Study cohorts
• Transfer support including application and scholarship essay workshops, financial aid guidance, CV development, and individualized transfer advising
• Leadership and service experience through the Student Honors Council
• Access to Honors Centers with study spaces, computer stations, free printing, and a kitchenette/lunch area
• Completion of the Honors Certificate (12 honors credits) unlocks transfer partnerships and significant scholarships at Maryland colleges and universities
• Official recognition on your transcript and at graduation upon completion of the Honors Certificate

The sooner you join, the more opportunities you can take advantage of!
