Overview

The Lee College Honors Program serves academically talented and highly motivated students. Honors at Lee College reflects the college’s mission statement by providing quality instruction for students and preparing them for success in higher education or employment.

The Honors Program offers enrichment of course materials and the freedom to work independently and collaboratively with faculty members who encourage lively, engaging discourse and activity both inside and outside of the classroom. The program also promotes the college’s goals of continued review and revitalization of existing curricula, academic programs, and course offerings while improving recruitment and retention. Students enrolled in the Honors Program have access to the Student Honors Suite and are members of the Student Honors Council. Honors students are also encouraged to join and participate in the affairs of Phi Theta Kappa, the International Honor Society for Two-Year Colleges. Lee College has articulation agreements in honors with several universities, and the Honors Program Coordinator is glad to help students with transfer and scholarship issues.

Lee College is a member of the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC), the Great Plains Honors Council, the Texas Association of Honors Program Directors and Coordinators, and the Gulf Coast Intercollegiate Honors Council. The Honors Program is featured in the current edition of Peterson’s Honors Programs, an official publication of the NCHC and the only guide to honors programs of more than 600 colleges and universities across the nation.
