Honors Program

How to Apply

If you are a college student, have a 3.3 GPA or better, and expect more from your education than just a grade, the Honors Program might be for you.

Applications for admission to the program for students who wish to start the program in the Spring 2010 semester are available now (applications must be postmarked no later than Tuesday, October 27, 2009 to receive full consideration).  Applications are available online (in the "Forms" section of the site), and application packets will be available at the Counseling office, the Honors Office (located on the second floor of the Creative Arts Building), or the Library. 

In general, applications for the following semester’s program are available in the first few weeks of each semester and are typically due in the 9th or 10th week of each semester. Requirements include a 3.3 GPA, current transcript, recommendation by two CR instructors, and a 500-word essay.

If you are a high school student with a 3.5 GPA, CR’s Honors Program offers you an outstanding education specifically focused on the first two years of your college experience. Studies repeatedly have shown that students who transfer from community colleges to four-year schools do better than students who started at four-year schools. The Honors Program provides a low-cost, high-quality experience for your preliminary work. See your guidance counselor or contact us for an application.
