Honors

The Northeastern Junior College Honors Program consists of students who possess exceptional leadership and academic abilities.

These individuals encompass a diverse variety of degree tracks within Northeastern, however each student expresses their academic ambition through coursework that caters to their specific degree. Members of this program will work individually or in small groups with the program advisor, as well as a full-time faculty within their discipline, in order to create a project which caters to their interests and future. This is the Honors Student’s upper level course work, which provides the student with the ability to go above and beyond the work currently done in classes to further enrich their college experience. Other elements of the course include advocacy projects, fundraising, campus improvements projects, and an Honors Symposium.

Other Benefits of the Program:

Scholarship of $250 per semester.
Living in the GRB Residence Hall.
Recognition at commencement along with honors cords.

The teachers and office workers WANT to help you to achieve your goals. That's also the reason why I actually like to go to classes, because it's important for me to combine fun and learning.

I choose NJC for its affordability and its rather informal education style. Because it is a small college you have more one on one opportunities with your instructors.

I remind myself of what my parents endured to get where they are today. They were able to achieve the American Dream, and they have taught me to go above and beyond!
