Honors Projects and Courses

Students with a 3.0 GPA may enroll in Honors Sections or complete Honors Projects in their courses. Students in the Honors Scholars or College Honors programs are required to complete five courses with Honors grades. Other students are welcome to complete Honors coursework as well.

Honors Projects
Honors Projects may be completed in any class. Students work directly with the instructor for the course to develop an honors project. This project is completed in addition to the work required in the class. You can complete an Honors Project in almost every class at LCCC. Past projects have included research papers, art work, science experiments, and more. Applications to complete and Honors Project and examples of past projects are available in the Advising Office on Main campus (AD 126).

Honors Courses
Honors Courses are sections that are taught at an Honors level. All the students in the class meet the requirements and want an honors experience. Honors sections do not necessarily mean more work. The basic course information is the same as all other sections of the course, but in the Honors Course the teacher may pick a theme to tie everything together, or spend more time on real world applications of the course material. Honors Courses are listed on the course schedule each semester, with a note that students must have a 3.0 GPA.

Institutional Review Board Information

Students who are completing Honors Projects that involve human subjects must complete the IRB approval process.  Most projects can be approved under the expedited review process.  It is important that students discuss this process with their mentors and follow the guidelines which can be reviewed by clicking here.
