The FSCJ Honors Program provides Associate in Arts (A.A.) students with opportunities for academic excellence, service-learning, leadership development and fellowship within an intellectually vibrant, culturally diverse and student-centered learning environment. Guided by knowledgeable and caring faculty, honors students explore the world of ideas while benefiting from hands-on learning opportunities with a variety of local community and business partners.

Honors students thrive within a supportive learning community composed of fellow students and dedicated faculty. Students likewise benefit from personalized academic and career guidance provided by the Director of the Honors Program and advisors.

Although honors students enjoy special recognition at commencement and on their college transcripts, their greatest reward lies in knowing that they “reached higher” to achieve their academic and professional goals.
