About American Honors:

We didn't invent the concept. Many students use community college as a steppingstone to a four-year degree. But, we invented a new model. An honors education that prepares students for the rigors of a four-year college. Dedicated advisors who help establish a transfer strategy from day one. An innovative learning platform that's designed to keep students on track. And a growing network of four-year colleges who actively recruit program graduates – and, in some cases, guarantee admission. 

See our recent press in the NYTimes and Inside Higher Ed.
