Honors Diploma Program

Seminole State's Honors Diploma Program is an advanced and specialized curriculum of faculty-created courses used as alternatives to the College's general education requirements. With its own faculty, courses, scholarships, small class sizes, personalized advising and priority registration, the program is highly regarded among other institutions. After graduating from Seminole State, Honors Diploma students often receive generous scholarship offers from four-year colleges and universities.

Honors Certificate Program

Similar to the Honors Diploma Program, the Honors Certificate Program is designed for Associate in Science degree students and academically talented students whose major — such as chemistry, nursing, music or physics — requires a strict course of study.

Science Merit Diploma and Science Diploma Programs

Recommended by Florida universities, these programs combine eight challenging science and math courses, along with a science seminar course, to provide a diverse educational foundation that includes the entry-level courses required for continued study in most math, science, engineering and health fields.

Phi Theta Kappa

Seminole State is host to the Pi Lambda Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, an international scholastic honors society for two-year colleges. Pi Lambda stands for scholarship, leadership, fellowship and service. Membership is earned by meeting specific qualifications, and by demonstrating honor and service to others.
