Honors Courses

The San Jac Honors Program offers outstanding classes taught by top professors in an intimate environment. Push yourself to think out of the box and be prepared for all the major universities. Become part of the close-knit community of honors scholars and expand your possibilities.

More Than a Class: The Honors Advantage

Honors courses at San Jacinto College are designed to challenge and inspire you. Each class includes several key elements, usually three or more, that help you grow as a thinker, leader, and scholar.

Critical Thinking

Honors courses focus on analysis and problem-solving instead of memorization. You’ll learn to think critically and apply ideas in new ways.

Leadership

You’ll have opportunities to demonstrate leadership through group projects, service learning, and other activities. Leadership experiences also extend beyond the classroom through Honors events and organizations.

Enrichment Activities

Honors classes go beyond the classroom with museum visits, community events, field trips, and creative projects that help you connect what you learn to real life.

Academic Rigor

These classes are challenging but rewarding. They encourage deeper understanding and prepare you to succeed in upper-level university courses.

Research

You’ll explore topics in greater depth and gain experience conducting research. Many students also have opportunities to present their work through papers, presentations, or poster sessions.
