    • Mobile The Honors Program

      The program was established in order to meet the needs of motivated students with a strong academic record. The program offers honors sections of transferable general education and major preparation courses that provide an enriched curriculum, seminar-based instruction, close interaction with honors program faculty, and special projects and activities. Honors courses strengthen students’ college transcripts and increase their chances for transfer to four-year institutions.

       The Mt. SAC Honors Program commits itself to providing an inclusive and diverse academic community. It is our belief that such an environment is necessary for the well-being of our students, staff, and faculty members. To provide this atmosphere where all members of our community can thrive, we strive to combat racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and the systemic forces that negatively impact marginalized populations. It is our goal to create a community where all individuals feel welcomed, respected, and heard.

                We recognize that building this environment will not occur overnight, nor will it happen automatically. It will take time and purposeful directed action. It will take more than a statement reaffirming our commitment. However, we consider it a privilege to work with our community in this ongoing effort towards equity and justice.

                In this continuous endeavor, the Honors Program is taking action to address issues and develop solutions. To review and improve our program, we are collaborating with the various Mt. SAC Equity Programs and implementing processes, activities and events based on those discussions to improve Honors student equity and success. Additionally, the Honors Program is hiring a diverse group of Honors student ambassadors to provide outreach and support. We are also supporting Mt. SAC’s chapter of the international honors society, Phi Theta Kappa, in their equity-focused projects. Finally, because the core foundations of our program are built upon diverse perspectives and the exchange of ideas, we are ensuring that our Honors Center is an inclusive safe space for ALL members of the Mt. SAC community.
