Spotlight On: Honors Transfer Program

honors students in libraryThe Cañada College Honors Transfer Program CCHTP is in its fourth year of operation and we are proud to announce that we were recently admitted into the prestigious UCLA Transfer Alliance Program. What this means for students is enormous! Along with enhanced transfer opportunities at multiple colleges and universities across the state, qualifying students will now receive additional consideration in their application to UCLAs College of Letters and Sciences. This partnership, gave students completing a qualified honors program at the community college level a 74% acceptance rate in 2010 to UCLA as compared to only 28% for non-honors transfer students!

Honors classes are open to all students, and the program is designed to be flexible enough to support all majors!
