The Honors Program
at American River College
Welcome!
The American River College
Honors Program is a community of students and faculty who are dedicated to
the pursuit of intellectual and personal enrichment in an open and
challenging academic environment. The Program offers courses that
partially fulfill the general education graduation requirements for an A.A.
degree. Also, the Honors Program curriculum prepares students for
transfer to four-year institutions by fulfilling the Intersegmental General
Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC). Please see a counselor for
further information regarding graduation and transfer requirements.
Courses
in the American River College Honors Program promote intellectual development
and academic achievement at an advanced level. Students in an Honors
section are more responsible for classroom participation and presentation,
and receive a more in-depth sequence of instruction. These course
objectives are met through any combination of the following approaches:
- a more thorough
examination of specific topics of inquiry
- a more detailed and
sophisticated reading list
- a wider variety of
assignments requiring greater student input and initiative, such as
research projects, portfolio submissions, and/or service learning
Successful completion of
an Honors section will result in higher levels of student comprehension and
mastery of subject material. All Honors courses are approved for ARC
general education and UC/CSU transfer credit.
