The Equity-Minded Honors Program offers academic leadership, character development, a higher level of scholarship and service opportunities through deeper exploration in your academic journey. Learning through self-discovery and independent investigation will strengthen your transfer application.
Anyone can become an honors student! If you are a self-directed San Joaquin Delta College student and feel you have the potential to engage in a richer, more complex course of study, then you are eligible.
