Honors Program

The LLCC Honors Program provides unique educational experiences for academically superior students in order to challenge, educate and reward them at a level consistent with their intellectual need and abilities. The Honors Program emphasizes critical thinking, student interaction, in-depth reading and discussion, smaller classes, special study facilities and contact with other high-ability students. All students who meet the eligibility requirements are encouraged to participate.

Trustees' Honors scholarships are available for students in the Honors Program. These scholarships are administered through the LLCC Foundation. For more information, please call 217.786.4502, toll free 866.260.6582, visit www.LLCCFoundation.org or stop by the LLCC Foundation Office in Menard Hall. Students applying for the scholarship but not receiving one may be admitted to the program.

Students may be admitted to the program at any time. Applications for admission to the program only can be obtained from the Honors Program Office.

Students who are not members of the Honors Program may take up to six hours of honors course work. They are required to petition the Honors Program Office for permission to enroll in the course.
