HONORS PROGRAM
About Honors
The Kingsborough Honors Program offers a challenging and rewarding educational experience for academically-minded students. The program provides a platform for students to explore their scholarly interests through honors-level academic work open only to honors students. Honors work emphasizes independent research, critical thinking, and analytical writing and argumentation skills. Honors work may be transferable to a variety of four-year colleges and universities as well as open up opportunities for selective transfer scholarships. The Honors Program strives to nurture excellence in leadership and service in addition to excellence in academics. The ultimate goal of the Honors Program is to support students as they become active and engaged citizens and scholars while building strong academic and co-curricular resumes.

Honors Course Offerings: Spring 2026
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 must express interest in completing an honors project to the professor of designated honors courses.
- 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.

- Having someone else write or create all or part of the content of your assignments
- 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.
