What is an Honors Counselor?


 

Honors counselors are key members of the campus “honors team.” City, Mesa and Miramar colleges each have a designated honors counselor on staff who’s job it is to assist honors students with a variety of tasks including creating an Education Plan to guide them through their community college general education studies, selecting all of the necessary course work to facilitate transfer to their first-choice four-year institution, and to complete an A.A. degree if so desired. Honors Counselors are also the best on-campus resource for information about transfer requirements, transfer institutions, transfer seminars and campus visits by college and university recruiters. The Honors Program strongly encourages students to meet with their designated Honors counselor as soon as possible after entering the Program to establish that important connection and begin a dialogue about their future interests and goals. It is equally important to keep your Honors Counselor apprised of any changes in your desired transfer institution or major as these addendums could require significant alterations to your Education Plan and transfer time line.
