Honors Courses

Honors courses are open and available to all AVC students.

Honors courses are intentionally capped at 21 students to foster a more engaging, university-style seminar experience that prepares students for the expectations of transfer institutions and advanced academic learning. The smaller class environment promotes meaningful dialogue, active participation, and stronger connections between students and faculty. Honors courses are also identifiable in the course schedule by the designation “Honors” or an “H” included in the course title. Honors course offerings vary by semester, and the most current schedule of available honors courses can be found at the link below or at www.avc.edu/schedule.

Honors Options

Honors options are available exclusively to students who have been admitted into the AVC Honors Program.

The honors options listed reflect all courses that have been approved for honors option credit. Only approved honors faculty should be approached regarding honors option credit. Student must submit an honors option contract in the Contract System by week 4 in fall/spring or week 1 in summer. 

Before offering an honors option to a student, instructors must submit a proposal and receive approval from the Honors Committee. Instructors may use their discretion in deciding whether to offer an honors option for a particular course or student. Faculty who do not consistently meet the guidelines set forth by the Honors Committee may have their course approval revoked.

Please contact the Honors Co-Coordinators for interests in joining the honors faculty and providing honors courses and/or options.
