Honors Course Offerings: Fall 2025

All-Honors courses are designed to foster critical thinking, improve speaking and writing skills, and examine subject matter more deeply than a regular course. They generally do not require students to do more work; instead, these courses challenge students to work at a more sophisticated level and in a more independent manner. Courses are open to students who have a 3.20 or higher GPA and are capped at 25 or fewer students.

Students must earn a grade of B+ or higher to receive an Honors notation on their transcript. All-Honors courses are three (3) units.

To see the description of courses, please visit the Schedule of Classes website.

Please Note: Students may also earn honors credits in courses not on this list.

Attention: Honors Program students and faculty must:

Identify the applicable honors experience, complete the requisite information, and submit the form by the last Friday of the first month of each semester.

Please submit honors project grade(s) and a copy of your student(s) completed honors work via the Faculty Grade Form. Honors project grades and projects are due by the end of the final examination period of each semester.

Faculty must submit a representative of the student’s honors work. This might be the best part of the project or the part of the project that presented the most challenges for the student - whatever you deem the best representation of the student’s honors experience.

Please note: The Honors Program collects honors work so that we can support the college in assessing the Honors Program.
This data collection is necessary to improve the Honors Program’s best practices. It is not to assess any individual faculty member or honors student.

• Fabricating and/or altering documents and/or information written by others, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools
• Utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, including AI grammar checkers, without proper citation and outside of the explicit directions of your instructor

Academic integrity violations are a serious matter and may result in the following honors violations:

Faculty Recommendation The Honors Program at Kingsborough Community College works to promote enhanced academic opportunities and scholarly experiences for Kingsborough students. Faculty recommendations are an essential part of that process and an essential part of supporting Kingsborough's highest achieving students. We depend on faculty to help us identify Honors Program candidates, to encourage students to apply, and to serve as academic mentors for Honors Program scholars as they work on honors experiences in the classroom, and progress toward Honors graduation, transfer, and beyond. Please use the link to answer the following questions about the Honors Program candidate to best of your knowledge. The best recommendations give us a sense of the candidate's scholarly goals and abilities and convey their overall academic character with an eye toward both their successes and failures. We thank you for your thoughtful consideration!
