Take Flight Rice Partnership
The Take Flight Stem Scholar program is a cohort co-curricular pathway for honors students interested in STEM careers.
The program has two tracks: one for first-year students, known as the STEM Engagement for Continuing Students, and one for students in their second-year students, known as the Transfer Ready track. Both groups will have access to specialized curricular and co-curricular STEM opportunities collaboratively offered by Rice and STEM faculty and mentors. Take Flight students will also get specialized application support for funded, summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates, or REUs, which are offered by Rice University and other sites around the country and are funded by the National Science Foundation. For the first-year track, additional programming will focus on career exploration, while second-year students will receive STEM-specific advisement on selective-transfer application writing and transfer preparedness.

The San Jacinto College Honors Program provides highly-motivated students with unique, innovative learning opportunities that include scholarships, smaller seminar-style classes, attentive instructors, and inquisitive classmates. The Honors Program emphasizes skill sets that are desired by prospective employers and four-year institutions. Students who take advantage of the SJC Honors Program enter universities and the workforce with an edge in these pursuits.
The Honors Program strives to create an environment in which students not only succeed, but thrive—a safe environment where we can feel free to engage new ideas—a place where we can allow ideas to challenge us while we challenge them—and exceed expectations. Honors students at San Jacinto College’s three campuses participate in enriched coursework, travel, and projects that enhance their undergraduate experience.
Participating in the Honors Program, students will develop:
- Critical & creative thinking skills
- Communication skills
- An understanding of diversity & global issues
- Leadership & teamwork skills
- Community service, social responsibility, & civic engagement
We strive to put learning outcomes into practice through real-world opportunities, also known as experiential learning, in the form of internships, travel, and faculty-directed projects. An honors education is a different style of learning–enriched, enhanced, and transformational.
