The Honors Core Curriculum is a coherent, rigorous program offering freshman and sophomore students a college education second to none. In the 2006-2007 year, approximately 80 CR students were enrolled in the Honors Program.

Some of our most distinguished faculty have designed a special two-year course of study that will apply to General Education transfer requirements at any university and provide advanced academic preparation not possible in traditionally structured classes. It offers these and other significant opportunities to motivated college students:

• In classes of limited size to insure individual attention between student and teacher, honors students take special sections of regular courses taught by inspiring instructors in an environment of lively interaction and among other students who seek intellectual challenge.
• Unique courses and co-curricular activities are offered to honors students to prepare them for transfer to top colleges and universities.
• Unique benefits are available to the few students who complete 15 or more units in honors. Although a student is only required to take one class a semester to be a member of the Honors Program, many choose to take more. Even a single honors course identified on a student’s transcript, tells admissions offices this student opted for a more rigourous learning experience. Transfer benefits at prestigious four-year universities range from guaranteed admission to scholarships.
• Enrollment and Scholarship Support. Enrollment in honors classes is limited to twenty students. Admission to the Honors Program will automatically confer a partial fee waiver.

The Honors Program at College of the Redwoods is truly a low-cost, high-quality alternative for your first two years of college work. For information: Honors Program Coordinator, College of the Redwoods, 7351 Tompkins Hill Road, Eureka, CA 95501-9300.
