Transfer Alliance Program
College of the Redwoods negotiates special transfer agreements linking community college honors/scholars' programs to specific universities, large or small, public or private. Students completing our programs then enjoy enhanced transfer consideration at the partner-campus, e.g., guaranteed or priority acceptance, special scholarships, housing priority, and a range of other academic and social benefits such as library privileges even before transfer.

"It's great to have a room full of working minds who truly want to learn."

If you've heard of the College of the Redwoods Honors Program and pictured a bunch of nerds with their noses either always to the grindstone or stuck up in the air, you’ve got the wrong picture. Students in the program are a diverse collection, ranging in appearance from dreadlocked to blow-dried, ranging in interests from technology to holistic medicine –and the whole gamut in between. What they have in common is their interest in learning, an interest that goes beyond only the grade.

College of the Redwoods Honors Program was created to foster the growth of students who are imaginative, dedicated, and excited about learning. It is a challenging program designed for successful transfer to a competitive four-year college. Honors students have access to specially designed honors classes, special academic advising, cultural events and trips, use of the extensive HSU Library, and close contact with faculty. Honors classes, selected each semester to satisfy CSU and UC transfer requirements, differ from regular classes in creativity and preparation by both students and faculty. The innovative approaches to learning, not possible in traditionally structured classes, often excite students most about the honors curriculum. Upon completion of the program, honors graduates have access to priority admission, special scholarships, and other benefits at prestigious universities.  Click here to see pictures of Honors Students and events.

FALL APPLICATIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY 4/16/08
