However, Honors Study can also be adapted to other curricula at Cayuga. Honors Study is intended to provide an enhanced educational experience to those who wish to expand their experiences in and out of the classroom and stimulate their intellectual curiosity. Honors designated courses meet the liberal arts requirements but offer non-traditional ways of learning and require independent thinking, strong reading and writing skills, and a willingness to try new ways of learning. Honors Study is not a degree program in itself, but rather an enhanced learning experience in that Honors students are intellectually challenged in a manner consistent with their ability and interests. Honors students graduate with an Associate in Arts or an Associate in Science in their chosen program of study, but with the distinction of an Honors Study degree. /academics/programs_of_study/ honors-program.php High School Programs Finish college faster. There are many options for high school students to earn college credit and/or enhance their skills while finishing high school and get ahead for college.
