Who are we?

The HTCC is a consortium of over fifty honors programs in California community colleges. Each is committed to serving the diverse population of California by offering highly motivated students academic engagement, enriched learning environments, and research opportunities.

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, which gives our students the opportunity to present the results of their work to a statewide audience.

We negotiate transfer partnerships with colleges, universities, and upper-division honors programs nationwide. Students completing our programs enjoy enhanced transfer consideration with our partners. See our Transfer Partner pages for details.

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.
