124 Students who successfully complete 15 credits of honors coursework and present satisfactory evidence of honors-events participation will receive an "Honors" designation on their transcripts. Honors classes have limited enrollments. The college keeps the class size moderate so that there can be maximum interaction between the instructor and the students.
