Take Your Education to the Next Level
Bucks County Community College’s Honors@Bucks program is for high-achieving, intellectually curious students who want to dig deeper. In specialized honors courses, you'll explore topics through scholarly research, high-order critical thinking, and experiential learning. Honors@Bucks is open to students in any associate-degree program who meet the academic requirements. Students entering the program may also qualify for a competitive Honors@Bucks Scholarship awarded to graduating high-school seniors.
While many of its students are also in Phi Theta Kappa or the National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS), Honors@Bucks is a separate program with its own opportunities and benefits.
