Stand Out. Be Ready.
The Dallas College Honors Program helps motivated students become more capable, confident and connected through challenging academics, meaningful relationships and experiences that prepare them for what's next.
Why Honors?
The Honors Program is more than advanced coursework. It's an opportunity to challenge yourself, discover new perspectives and build the confidence and experiences that prepare you for transfer, your career and whatever comes next.
You'll learn alongside other motivated students while working closely with faculty mentors through research, experiential learning, leadership opportunities and meaningful community engagement.

Hear From Our Honors Community
“After becoming an Honors student, I noticed classes were filled with students with aspirations to create something bigger than themselves. This energy helped me stay motivated and energetic throughout my years at Dallas College. Lastly, I was exposed to resources from other students I did not have. In the end, it gave me the extra reach to ensure I can continue my dream in this country.”
– Ferdinando Castro, Honors and international student alumni
“One of the major benefits students gain by participating in the Honors Program is exposure. Engaging in additional activities to help facilitate your learning offers something you do not get by attending a non-Honors course. Learning via textbook is one thing; however, being able to apply the textbook knowledge to real-world phenomena is different.
– Dr. Fitten, Honors professor
“One of the best reasons to participate in Honors is the relationships you gain with your fellow Honors students and your professors. Honors classes are smaller, so you have more time to get to know the professor and your classmates. Also, everyone there chose to take an Honors class, so you already have something in common.”
– Dr. Baggett, Honors professor
