More Information

Reasons to Join

1. The Honors Academy offers students an additional academic credential on top of their Associate's Degree. Students who complete our Program at the Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels are recognized as a "SAC Honors Academy Graduate" at SAC Commencement and on their official transcripts.
2. Our learning environment facilitates, motivates, and nurtures a drive for academic challenge through a sense of belonging.
3. Honors students receive personalized mentorship, experiential learning, undergraduate research, and Honors assignments similar to a four-year college/university experience for a fraction of the cost of attending such an institution.
4. Honors Academy courses are not harder, do not include more exams, and are not designed to negatively impact a student's GPA. Our courses provide students with enhanced learning of course content.
5. There is no cost to participate.

What happens after I apply?

1. Once you receive an email that you qualify for the Honors Academy Program, we will send you information on your next steps.
2. You will have an opportunity to learn more about our Program, complete your final admission requirements, and ask questions.
3. Space is limited. Once Honors fall classes fill, you will have to wait until the next regular semester to officially join the program.
