Honors College Advantages

When you join the Honors College, you become part of a close-knit group of motivated peers and dedicated faculty who share your passion for learning and growth. Our small, interactive classes — capped at just 15 students — foster open discussion, collaboration and lasting friendships.

Through co-curricular activities, service learning and campus events, you’ll connect with others who are committed to making a difference in their communities and beyond. Plus, you'll get access to:

Priority registration: Get the classes you need, when you need them
Scholarships: Apply for exclusive honors scholarships at PBSC and transfer institutions
Transfer advantages: Transfer to upper-division honors programs at universities
Recognition: Receive special honors, including a seal on your diploma and notation on your transcript

I have the immense privilege of transferring to Princeton University. I mean it when I say that none of that could have happened without all the skills developed – and everything I’ve learned – at the Honors College.

PBSC Honors Student

I chose to be in the Honors College because I wanted to be part of a community that would enrich my learning outside of the classroom. After Palm Beach State, I transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, one of the eight Ivy League universities in the nation.
