MissionThe Honors Program at Quinsigamond Community College strives to motivate academically talented students to develop their fullest potential. In addition, the Program seeks to awaken and nurture a sense of humane citizenry and community responsibility within its members. The Honors Program at QCC is the ultimate college experience. Honors courses offer the students alternative learning opportunities to enhance critical thinking skills.
Honors courses “encourage student
involvement. Although the course objectives are primarily the same as in
the non-honors sections, the classes emphasize individual interpretation
and analysis, creative thinking, oral communication, and writing . . . .
The level of discussion is usually more intellectual and probing, and
the student outcomes for the course may emphasize an improvement of
critical thinking . . . . There is considerable agreement among honors
professionals that an honors section is not formed by adding more work
to the regular course.” The Honors Program at QCC is proud to be accredited by the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education as a Commonwealth Honors Program. We are part of an integrated, collaborative system-wide network of honors programs in Massachusetts public higher education. Students participating in the Honors Program:
