Honors Program
NWACC’s Honors Program creates a dynamic, student-centered learning environment through small, discussion-based classes—most with fewer than 15 students. Taught by passionate instructors, these courses challenge students to think critically, explore creatively, and connect their learning to real-world issues through hands-on projects, research, and service opportunities.
Honors courses count toward general education requirements and focus on depth, engagement, and collaboration—not extra work. You’ll join a supportive community of curious, motivated students and experience a college education designed to expand your perspective and transform the way you learn.
