The purpose of the Kellogg Community College Honors Program is to provide a collegial learning environment that promotes, models and provides activities for students, faculty, staff and community learners. We seek growth, excellence, responsibility and recognition in our social and academic worlds.

WHAT IS THE HONORS PROGRAM?
The Honors Program offers academically-talented students an alternative way to complete general education requirements. As an Honors Program student you will have special opportunities for academic challenge and interaction with other motivated students and honors faculty through classes, community service and fellowship activities.

WHO IS AN HONOR STUDENT?
Honors students are as unique and varied as the scholarly, artistic, humanitarian and societal passions that spark their intellect. What unites them is the excitement of working and studying with outstanding professors and other talented students.

At KCC Honors participants are athletes, musicians, artists, campus and community leaders, as well as traditional and nontraditional students. If you think the Honors Program isn’t for you … think again.
