They're still a bargain; a year of tuition and fees at Miami Dade runs about $3,000. But more than a third of the 1,157 community colleges in the U.S. have developed some kind of honors program designed to attract higher-quality students and professors. As cash-strapped states cap enrollment at public universities--despite a rise in the number of 18-year-olds...
