Benefits for the honors students include close interactions between students in the program and professors, challenging courses with fellow honors students, the exploration of current issues in the interdisciplinary seminar, and specific guidance from counselors and faculty advisers concerning the course of studies most suitable for transferring to a four-year university and for achieving professional objectives. Upon completion of the program, honors students are actively recruited by public and private universities, often offered scholarships, and frequently given special university-admissions consideration because of Mt. San Jacinto’s honors transfer alliances with major universities. Honors students also attend and participate in honors conferences, and have publication opportunities in Scribendi, the Western Regional Honors Council publication dedicated to student work.

Program Description This non-transfer interdisciplinary degree offers a range of coursework to prepare students who want to explore the arts, ideas, values, and cultural expressions of the world’s peoples as a foundation for lifelong learning or as an introduction to the related fields of Humanities, Interdisciplinary Studies, Art History, Music Appreciation, Theater Arts, Philosophy, English Literature, Modern and Classical Languages, or Religious Studies. For additional information, please see an MSJC counselor.
Transfer Preparation MSJC offers a range of course work to prepare students to transfer to four-year colleges and universities. Courses that fulfill major requirements for an associate degree in this program might not be the same as those required for transfer into the major at a four year university. All fouryear institutions prescribe their own standards for course evaluation and admissions. Prospective transfer students are advised to research careers, degrees and majors in the Career/ Transfer Center, access www.assist.org, review the MSJC catalog and meet with a counselor to expedite their transfer plan.
