County College of Morris (CCM) is pleased to announce the launch of its CCM Honors Program. The program is intended for students who are exemplary scholars and are dedicated to academic excellence. The application for the Honors Program opened on June 1, 2025. After being accepted into the program, students work towards earning Honors designation on their transcript for their degree completion.
“The best thing about CCM Honors is the opportunity for greater exploration,” said Samantha Gigliotti, director of CCM Honors. “Students are able to spend more time on topics that interest them, leading to a greater understanding and appreciation of the topic.”
CCM Honors promotes and supports personal, academic and intellectual growth. There are three defining components of the Honors experience at CCM – teaching and learning, experiential opportunities and assessment. Students in the program will acquire a greater breadth and depth of knowledge using resources inside and outside the classroom. Instructors and students will collaborate to foster an interdisciplinary approach to learning. Students will also participate in relevant field and discipline-specific experiences. Courses will include assessments that focus on synthesizing concepts and applying them critically.
Students in the CCM Honors Program can enjoy a host of benefits, including valuable networking with their faculty and their fellow Honors peers, attendance at Honors workshops and programs, eligibility for an Honors student scholarship and the Distinguished Honors Student Award, presentation of their Honors research at the Student Showcase and letters of recommendation from CCM’s President and from CCM Honors.
Criteria to be admitted into the program includes achievement of one or more of the following: Top 10% of the high school graduating class, combined SAT score of 1240 or composite ACT score of 26.
