We invite you to consider mentoring talented students as part of City Tech’s Honors Scholars Program. City Tech encourages students who have demonstrated high academic achievement to undertake honors-level work in any course. Honors projects involve a substantial challenging assignment in addition to the standard requirements of the course (Note: Honors projects can be a research or a non-research project; for example, photography, writing an original computer program, etc.). Specific expectations for honors credit in a regular course are negotiated between the student and professor and approved by both the department Chairperson and the Honors Scholars Program Director. Honors project credit is noted on the official student transcript. Please consider mentoring current Honors students in your course(s).
If you have a student who is eligible for the Honors Scholars Program (completed at least 12 credits at City Tech with a GPA of 3.4 or higher), please encourage that student to join the program and earn Honors credit in your course.
We have attached the form for honors credit in a regular course, which is due Friday, February 24. If you have any questions, please refer to our FAQ page (https://honors.citytech.cuny.edu/faq/) and/or contact the Assistant Director of the Honors Scholars Program, Dr. Amanda L. Almond, AAlmond@citytech.cuny.edu.
