Honors Program
The Honors Program consists of separate sections in TCC's general education curriculum. The goal of Honors classes is to promote critical thinking. We offer over a dozen Honors classes in the fall and spring semesters each year. Honors classes are usually limited to 20 students, which provides for more student-faculty interaction and collaborative learning.
Honors classes are different from regular classes in the way they are presented. With smaller classes, honors faculty can rely more on teaching strategies, such as debates, group work, class presentations and class discussions. These strategies are known to facilitate the development of critical thinking. Students are evaluated on their knowledge of the subject matter and on their ability to analyze, apply and synthesize the material.
