Enrolling in Honors Courses
New York City College of Technology offers several Honors courses each semester. Specially-designed honors courses emphasize critical thinking, verbal skills and creative problem-solving. Students enjoy the atmosphere of these small classes, which provide opportunity to pursue ideas in depth. Most students find that honors courses stimulate them to be more responsive and creative.
Enrollment in the honors sections requires special permission. Please make an appointment with Prof. Liou-Mark at 718.260.5929 or e-mail her at jliou-mark@citytech.cuny.edu if you are interested in taking any of the honors courses.

Applying for Honors Credit in a Regular Course
New York City College of Technology (NYCCT) encourages students who have demonstrated high academic achievement to undertake honors-level work in any appropriate course. Honors work normally involves substantial independent research and/or projects in addition to the normal requirements of the course. Specific expectations for contract honors credit must be negotiated between the student and professor and approved by both the department chairperson and the Honors Scholars Program Coordinator. Honors credit is noted on the transcript as “HONORS PROJECT” followed by the course and semester.
The Contract for Honors Credit in a Regular Course (PDF) should be completed and signed by the student and professor as soon as possible. The original contract needs to be submitted six weeks after the first day of class to the Honors Scholars Program office (Namm 624). Copies should be retained by both professor and student to avoid any misunderstanding about the expectations for Honors credit. Upon completion of the course, the professor should report satisfactory performance of this contract, with a grade of B or better, to the Honors Scholars Program Coordinator in order for Honors credit to be placed on the student’s transcript.
Students who complete a Contract for Honors Credit in a Regular Course are required to participate in the Honors Scholars Poster Presentation and submit a copy of the project at the end of the semester. Please consult the Calendar of Events for the date of the poster presentation.
