Honors Core Requirements:

To graduate from the Honors Program at MCC the honors student must meet all the same academic conditions for graduation, as well as, fulfill the following program requirements:

• Earn a minimum of 15 credits of Honors Classes and,
  
  
• Complete a one credit service-learning class with Center for Service-Learning. The service-learning class can be done in one, two, or three credit increments in any of the twenty-one discipline areas offered by Center for Service-Learning and can either be taken for Honors credit or as a regular service-learning course.

  However, in order for you to receive honors credit for your service-learning class, the Honors department requires students to commit to ONE of the following activities:

  1. A presentation to a reflective session run by Center for Service-Learning, an MCC class, or community group where an accountable faculty member can be present in order to grade the quality of the presentation i.e., the Honors Program Coordinators, the Director of Center for Service-Learning, or the supervising faculty member.
     
     
  2. Submit an additional five page paper reflecting upon your experience of service as it relates to the honors theme for that semester. If your choice of service and the honors theme for that semester do not lend themselves readily to integration, you may interview and use another service-learning student’s experience whose placement site may be more relevant. This paper will be copied to the Honors Program Coordinators.
     
     
  3. Have something published in the MCC Bulletin, local newspapers, Mesa Legend, the various District newsletters, or any other reputable publication subject to pre-approval by the supervising faculty member.

Any student-generated idea that demonstrates innovation, leadership, citizenship, etc is acceptable. The appropriateness of this option will be determined by the faculty supervisor in conjunction with the Honors Program Coordinators.
