CLASSICAL STUDIES PROGRAM
The Classical Studies Program is a rigorous, humanities-based
curriculum for students wishing to transfer to top colleges
nationwide. Students are introduced to the Western cultural
tradition of the Greeks and Romans. Required classes include
four semesters of Latin or Greek, two semesters of great books,
three semesters of the History of Western Civilization, and a
political philosophy course. Two-thirds of the course work
leading to the Associate of Arts degree must be Honors classes.
Course work may be pursued in a variety of disciplines, and
students may pursue any academic major in conjunction with
the Classical Studies Program. Call 602.285.7305 for more
information.

HONORS PROGRAM
The Phoenix College Honors Program is dedicated to
challenging its students with small classes, where active
participation is expected. As much as possible, Phoenix College
emphasizes the interdisciplinary approach, where connections
are made across academic disciplines and across cultures.
Phoenix College aims to educate the whole person, helping
students to realize their potential by affording them
opportunities for growth both in and outside of the classroom.
Entrance to the Honors Program is open both to incoming
students who have recently graduated from high school, as well
as continuing students who are currently enrolled at PC.
Entering freshmen in the top 15% of their high school class are
eligible to apply. Another pathway for incoming students is by
achieving high scores on the ASSET tests (check with the
Honors Office for details). A third pathway designed for current
PC students requires a cumulative G.P.A. of at least 3.25 for 12
or more credit hours in courses numbered 100 or above in the
MCCCD system.
To graduate with Honors Program designation, Honors
students must complete at least 15 semester hours of Honors
courses at Phoenix College and maintain a cumulative GPA of
3.5. After the first semester, students have the option of taking
one class as an Honors Contract class, in which the student and
professor sign a contract outlining an enrichment project that
must be completed to earn Honors credit. This can only be done
once, and is not permitted during the first year of Honors
eligibility. (Check with the Honors Office for complete
requirements.) Call 602.285.7305 for more information.
A partial listing of Honors courses follows. Honors offerings
may change from year to year: check with the Honors Office to
verify.
