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 help you stand out in the classroom, during transfer and throughout your career.
You'll learn alongside other motivated students while working closely with faculty mentors through research, experiential learning, leadership opportunities and meaningful community engagement.
Who You’ll Become Through Honors
More Capable
Build research, communication and leadership skills through challenging Honors courses, hands-on projects and experiential learning.
Present Your Research on a National Stage: Honors students attend the National Collegiate Honors Council Conference (NCHC), where they present research and connect with students from across the country.
More Confident
Step outside your comfort zone through opportunities such as conferences, cultural experiences and community engagement.
Experience New Places and Perspectives: During a study abroad trip to Puerto Rico, Honors students step outside the classroom and experience Puerto Rican culture while learning to make mofongo.
More Connected
Learn in smaller classes alongside other motivated students and build relationships with Honors faculty, staff and peers.
Find Your Community: Honors students build friendships and community beyond the classroom during Honors Trivia Night.
A Graduate With Distinction
Earn Honors recognition on your transcript and diploma while building experiences that strengthen transfer, scholarship and career opportunities.
