Phi Theta Kappa: Honors in Action

Welcome to Honors in Action

The Honors in Action program is accessible, flexible, and scalable for all chapters regardless of differences like student majors, chapter size, or college size.

For many colleges, Phi Theta Kappa’s Honors in Action program also serves as the college’s honors program.

Gain Real-World Experience and Create a Lasting Impact

Use what you’re learning in the classroom to research and solve real-world challenges facing your college and community. Through Phi Theta Kappa’s exclusive honors program, Honors in Action, you’ll gain key skills that today’s employers want to see.

• Set yourself apart as a leader on campus.
• Learn to think critically and reflectively.
• Learn to work as part of a team.
• Collaborate with college and community leaders.

How Honors in Action Works

First, you’ll connect with your local chapter and other students like you to identify and research a theme from the current Honors Study Topic and an issue on your campus or in your larger community. Then, you’ll turn that research into a plan of action that meets a specific need in your area. You’ll expand your worldview and be able to give back through service — a win-win.

Your work could be published in Civic Scholar: Phi Theta Kappa Journal of Undergraduate Research, which is distributed nationally with support from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation. It’s the first journal of its kind to feature work solely by community college students.
