The Honors Program at Mesa Community College offers a unique and challenging educational opportunity for our high achieving stu-
dents. Over 20 Honors-only courses are offered each semester along with the possibility of completing contracts for honors credit
in other courses. MCC’s Honors Program provides an opportunity for our students to participate in a challenging environment with
small classes, one-on-one mentoring from faculty, and increased interaction with other honors students.
The Honors Program provides funds to help defray the costs of attending college. The Presidents’ Honors Scholarship currently pro-
vides funds to cover up to 15 credit hours of tuition per semester to the top 20% of the graduating class from any accredited Mari-
copa County high school, for up to four consecutive semesters. This is an opportunity for recent high school graduates to make a
commitment to their community and their own future. Continuing students can earn entry into the MCC Honors Program and be
awarded the Honors Achievement Award with a cumulative districtwide 3.25 GPA and a minimum of 12 credit hours of 100+ classes.
