NEW EXPERIENCES

Students will be introduced to special speakers and presenters, will have opportunities for educational travel experiences, and will have the chance to work more closely with the honors faculty to meet their educational goals.

TRANSFER TO UNIVERSITY HONORS PROGRAMS 

The NWACC Honors Program works closely with the Honors Programs of many regional 4-yr. institutions, so that NWACC honors credits will transfer seamlessly. Many of these partner universities offer transfer and honors scholarships to NWACC students. Contact the Honors Director for more information on articulation agreements.
