The Trinity Valley Community College honors program, or REACH, is designed to
provide a challenging and stimulating educational experience for students with
advanced academic skills. The objectives of the program are met through student
participation in honors courses, seminars, guest lectures, field trips and special
projects.
Honors courses have limited enrollment which allows students the opportunity to
engage in discussion, research and creative projects suited to their special abilities
and interests. The courses are taught by outstanding faculty members who are
highly motivated and dedicated to utilizing a variety of non-traditional teaching
methods.
To graduate through the REACH program, the student must complete a minimum of
12 semester hours of honors courses with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 on all
coursework attempted at the TVCC. In addition, the student must earn an A or B in
each honors course. Students are encouraged to vary their honors course selections
and experience a wide array of activities.
Upon completion of REACH program requirements, honors students will receive the
Honors Program Graduate designation on their TVCC transcript. This recognition is
