County College of Morris offers both full- and part-time students the opportunity to take honors classes or join the CCM Honors Program. Honors classes are designed to help exemplary students develop their special talents and enjoy an intensive and stimulating learning atmosphere. At CCM, we offer two honors class formats: Honors and Honors Option. Honors classes offer smaller class sizes in which all students enrolled are Honors students, while Honors Option offers those who excel in the core courses of their major or specific subjects an opportunity to achieve a higher level of competence in a regular section of a class. In addition to the standard assignments, students will complete an Honors project that relates to the course objectives, and they work closely with the professor to complete the assignment. Those who qualify may take as many Honors courses as desired. Please note that the courses offered vary per semester.

CCM Honors Program
