Honors Courses

Many courses offered at Sierra College may, with the instructor’s permission, be taken for Honors credit. Students who are interested in a more challenging classroom experience may contract with a willing instructor for honors credit. Completion by a student of the Honors contract with an earned course grade of A or B will result in a notation on the student’s transcript indicating that the course was passed “with Honors.” For more information e-mail the campus counseling office.

Honor Society

Sierra College students who have completed 12 units of transferable course credit at Sierra College with a 3.5 GPA are eligible to join the college’s Beta Mu Zeta chapter of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society for two-year colleges. The purpose of Phi Theta Kappa is to recognize and encourage scholarship among two-year college students. Phi Theta Kappa provides opportunities for the development of leadership and service, for lively fellowship for scholars and eligibility to apply for Phi Theta Kappa Transfer Scholarships. For additional information e-mail Tim Haenny, Campus Life Coordinator.
