Through small class sizes and high levels of interaction, the honors transfer program fosters the formation of learning cohorts. Students will typically share multiple classes together which helps form a community of shared learning. Students have commented that real friendships have formed through the honors transfer program and, oftentimes, students will transfer to a four-year institution together, or know former Citrus College honors students who already attend that institution.
