Student Testimonial
"The Honors Program at TCC has helped me become a better student. I like being in class with students who have the same academic goals that I do and the smaller class sizes help me focus. The professors that teach the honors classes are amazing and really keep us engaged. I am very happy to be a part of the Honors Program at TCC." -Tommy McCall, Honors Student
Student Testimonial
"It’s really easy to join. I like having connections with the other students and instead of doing individual work we’re able to do group work which was really cool. Those connections you build with professors and in the classes will help you in the future. I totally encourage other students to join the program.” -Aydana Quiva, Honors Student
