The Niagara County Community Honors Institute provides an enriching and challenging academic experience through unique coursework that stresses an interactive learning experience where students acquire a creative and comprehensive understanding of concepts in an interdisciplinary and global context. Our students think critically, hone research skills, demonstrate leadership, and develop a commitment to civic responsibility.
Honors Institute Programs
The Honors Institute houses the President’s Scholars Program and Honors Program. Students interested in participating in a cohesive honors experience at SUNY Niagara and earning the Honors designation on their diploma, may enroll in the Honors Institute’s all-college Presidential scholars program (requires 18 honors credit including a service learning project) or the traditional honors Program (requires 14 honors credits).
Chess Club is one of the many Honors Institute activities.
When I first arrived here at Niagara County Community College, I was not sure if higher education was the right path for me. But I joined the Honors Institute and Professor Pamela Lange was my Honors advisor who saw my potential as a scholar, and I will be forever grateful for her belief that I could succeed through high and low points.
