Welcome
to the Honors Program at College of DuPage. We give highly motivated
students an opportunity to participate in academically enhanced courses
designed to add depth to their college experience. We also offer smaller
class sizes, in a seminar format, that encourage students to get to
know each other and their professors well. Our program employs a holistic
approach in terms of our students community college experience.
To do so, we emphasize four key areas: academics, transfer, extracurricular
activities and recognition.
We
are justifiably proud of our students. Their accomplishments and successes
within and beyond the Honors Program speak for themselves. To date,
nearly 100 percent of the students opting to complete the Honors Scholar
Program have transferred to four-year baccalaureate-granting colleges
and universities many of these highly selective schools like
the University of Chicago, Georgetown, Northwestern and Duke
with the vast majority receiving degrees there. One Honors Scholar has
even become a Rhodes Scholar!
You
can participate in the Honors Program in two ways: by taking individual
honors courses or by joining the Honors Scholar Program.
