At the heart of the Montgomery Scholars
program is a core curriculum designed to fulfill Montgomery College
general education requirements and the transfer requirements of
most four-year colleges and universities. The curriculum includes
thematically linked courses, specially designed for the Scholars
Program, as well as limited enrollment honors sections of existing
courses. The curriculum also allows flexibility for students to
complete the degree requirements of their majors. The Montgomery
Scholars program was awarded the Maryland Association of Higher
Education Distinguished Program Award in 2001 and the Outstanding
Program in Fostering Student Achievement Award from the National
Council of Teachers of English in 2002.
As a student in the Scholars program, you will
learn from honors faculty who are active scholar-practitioners
in their fields. And you will be part of a community of honors
students sharing common intellectual experiences. A core curriculum,
cultural excursions to museums and galleries, on-campus guest
lectures, informal gatherings at the Philo-Cafe — and a
summer together at the University of Cambridge — all create
a sense of community often missing in the first two years of higher
education.
