An honors education close to home.A community committed to your future.

An affordable bachelor’s degree pathway.I am American Honors.

“Another thing I love about American Honors is that

they have shown me, specifically as I go through the

pre-transfer process, that things that I never dreamed

were possible are waiting for me to take them. That is

worth more to me than I can express.”

HannaClass of 2015American Honors, Community Colleges of Spokane

achieve your dreams. Navarro College’s competitive two-year honors program

prepares promising students for junior- and senior-level coursework at top

national and regional colleges and universities. American Honors helps

students reach their full potential so they can successfully transfer to their best-

fit college or university. A remarkable 83 percent of the first American Honors

program graduates were accepted by their first choice four-year institution—

Southern California, Vanderbilt University, and many others.

hand experience and insights, they mentor students from the moment they

enroll in the American Honors program all the way through the completion of

the transfer process. With American Honors, you always have someone you can

depend on for help and support as you complete the first two years of your

“My Honors Advisor helped me sign up for classes and

create a plan for transferring to a four-year university.

Without American Honors, I think I would have had just

enough credits to graduate from community college and

hope that a local university would accept me. But now I

know I can do more. That’s what American Honors is giving

me and is making the difference.”

“Before American Honors, I thought I could only afford in-state schools. Now, I’m headed to Stanford next year with a full-ride scholarship, including room and board, books, everything I could have ever imagined!”

ElizabethClass of 2013American Honors, Community Colleges of SpokaneCurrent student at Stanford University

“Last year, I never thought I would find a school that was affordable and gave me a great education at the same time. But then I found American Honors. I have friends at top 4-year universities who will be $80,000 in debt when they graduate. I’m graduating debt free, and it’s going to be beautiful. And I know I’ll transfer to a top school with great scholarship options, thanks to AH.”

CameronClass of 2014American Honors, Community Colleges of SpokaneCurrent student at Western Washington University

“When I realized I couldn’t afford to go to my dream school, I didn’t know what would come next. But then I found the American Honors program. Every day, my professors and fellow students push me to work harder and do better. The biggest reason I joined the AH program was because they are doing everything they can to help me transfer to a top four-year college.”
