East Arkansas Community College-Forrest City
Press Release

East Arkansas Community College Honors Program is now accepting applications for students for the fall semester 2008. The academically challenging Honors Program is limited to 15 students per year. The program’s small class size creates an opportunity for a variety of learning experiences not found in typical academic settings.

Honors sections are fully transferable general education courses required for most post-secondary academic programs. Honors students are able to register for classes from the college’s selection of general course offerings in addition to those courses required for Honors Program participation.

The Interdisciplinary Seminar (IDS) is a one-hour, special topic course that is required for all Honors Program participants. The class studies one topic in-depth each semester, with topics ranging from the Civil War to the Kennedy Assassination.

Honors Program students have the unique opportunity to travel outside of the traditional classroom to a range of cultural events, seminars, and related enrichment activities.

The Honors Program awards students a full two-year scholarship that includes tuition and an opportunity to participate in the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society as a provisional member.

If you have a strong academic record and are committed to the pursuit of excellence, you are invited to apply for acceptance into the Honors Program at EACC. For more information on program requirements and the application process, please contact Daniel Page, Honors Program Chair at 633-4480 ext. 297.
