The FCCJ Honors Program is designed to enhance, encourage and challenge students to go beyond traditional lines of thinking. Highly motivated, intellectually gifted students need and deserve a progressive course of study that provides new challenges to their exceptional ability. FCCJ has always attracted students serious about the pursuit of academic excellence, and the educators at the College are dedicated to presenting these students with the most stimulating educational experiences possible. Students who have achieved a 3.25 grade point average in high school or who have achieved a 3.25 average after 12 semester hours of college level courses may join the program.
Honors courses are special sections of the regular college curriculum.
They offer unique learning opportunities. Coursework is more individually structured and presentations have an innovative approach. There are three different scholarships open to honors students. One is for entering freshmen, based on high school performance. The others are open to FCCJ students who have achieved academic excellence in college.
