The faculty and administration are dedicated to ensuring these students receive the most stimulating and rewarding educational experiences possible while attending Florida State College.The Florida State College Honors Academy is designed to attract highly motivated and academically talented students who are challenged by an intellectually stimulating academic program of study and who have demonstrated an ability to achieve academic excellence as follows:
The goals of the Honors Academy are:
- to serve the needs of students motivated to excel in both academic studies and leadership development,
- to offer intellectual development and leadership skills-building experiences that integrate academic, extra-curricular and service activities and

The Honors Academy offers students the opportunity

to foster academic excellence. Students have the opportunity to
enroll in stimulating designated Honors courses with exceptional
faculty and other outstanding students.

addition, full-time Honors Academy students must take two
