What is the HTCC?

We are a consortium of over 50 community college honors programs. We serve California's diverse student population by offering academic engagement, enriched learning environments, and research opportunities.

What do we do for students?

We provide a forum for honors directors and counselors to share experiences and successful practices in dealing with talented and motivated students.

We hold an annual Honors Research Conference, where our students present their work to a statewide audience.

We negotiate transfer partnerships with colleges, universities, and upper-division honors programs nationwide.

We annually host a virtual Honors Transfer Fair to connect our transfer partners with our students, counselors, and directors.

We award scholarships and research prizes to community college honors students.

How do community colleges join us?

Full membership is available to California community colleges that have operating honors programs; guest membership is available to those developing or considering the development of honors programs.

If you are interested in membership, please complete the HTCC Application. For more information, see the New To Honors page.
