HONORS/TRANSFER ALLIANCE PROGRAM

Completing an Honors Contract

Students receive Honors credit by completing an Honors Contract in any UC transferable course. In consultation with the instructor, the student develops a proposal for an Honors research project. In most cases, the project should be a written assignment that displays interpretation and critical analysis of academic texts (journal articles or books written by experts in an academic discipline). The proposal is submitted to the Honors coordinator and evaluated by the Honors Advisory Committee. The committee will either approve the project or suggest revisions. When the final project is completed, the student must submit one copy to the instructor and a second copy to the Honors Coordinator. If the advisory committee approves the project, the student will receive an Honors notation on his/her transcript indicating that the course was completed for Honors credit.

Honors Certification

Students receive Honors Certification by completing a total of six Honors Contracts. Certified students receive access to a variety of scholarship opportunities and priority consideration for admission to UCLA, UCI, UCR, UCSC, Occidental College, Chapman University, Claremont College, Pomona Pitzer, La Sierra University, Whitman College, Pacific University, CSU Fullerton, CSU Stanislaus, and CSU San Diego.
