Honors<br />
The <strong>Phoenix</strong> <strong>College</strong> Honors Program is dedicated to challenging its<br />
students with small classes, where active participation is expected.<br />
As much as possible, <strong>Phoenix</strong> <strong>College</strong> emphasizes the interdisciplinary<br />
approach, where connections are made across academic disciplines<br />
and across cultures. <strong>Phoenix</strong> <strong>College</strong> aims to educate the whole<br />
person, helping students to realize their potential by affording them<br />
opportunities for growth both in and outside of the classroom.<br />
Entrance to the Honors Program is open both to incoming students<br />
who have recently graduated from high school, as well as continuing<br />
students who are currently enrolled at PC. Entering freshmen in the<br />
top 15% of their high school class are eligible to apply. Another<br />
pathway for incoming students is by achieving high scores on the<br />
ASSET tests (check with the Honors Office for details). A third<br />
pathway designed for current PC students requires a cumulative<br />
G.P.A. of at least 3.25 for 12 or more credit hours in courses<br />
numbered <strong>10</strong>0 or above in the MCCCD system.<br />
To graduate with Honors Program designation, Honors students<br />
must complete at least 15 semester hours of Honors courses at<br />
<strong>Phoenix</strong> <strong>College</strong> and maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.5. Call<br />
602.285.7305 for more information.<br />
