Honors College Benefits

Many students can easily get confused when it comes to the difference between joining the Honors College and joining an honor society. Being part of both is truly ideal, but not required, for students seeking a more challenging academic experience during their time at Broward College.

Phi Theta Kappa

Phi Theta Kappa is an honor society that adds distinction to your honors experience but it is not mandatory that you join. Additionally, you will pay a fee to join this organization. Honor Societies recognize all students who have shown academic excellence during their time at Broward College. Deadlines and qualifications vary among the honor societies.

More benefits:

  • Helps to strengthen your resume when applying for transfer scholarships
  • Earn affiliation for life, allowing you to network once in the job market
  • Earn graduation recognition and cords upon completion
  • Participate in select academic service learning opportunities

Broward College has the distinction of having three chapters:

Honors students have several opportunities to socialize, meet like minded peers and develop valuable contacts while in school and away. 

Some of the conferences, our students participate in include:
