Student Benefits     

Learning Community - Study groups, lecture series, and social events enhance Honors students' college experience as well as their education.  Honors students have the option to select Honors housing in Clayton Hall to further enhance this learning community.

Honors Core Courses with Small Class Sizes - Courses from a wide variety of disciplines are capped at 15 students and taught by some of the best professors at AU.

Advanced Course Scheduling - Honors students are the first among their classmates to schedule, and thus are more likely to enroll in their first choice of classes.

Honors Capstone Project - Honors students have the opportunity to work closely with a faculty member on an in-depth, original project related to their major.

Competitive Advantage - Graduates from the Honors Program gain knowledge and experience that make them more attractive to graduate schools and employers.

Opportunity to Study Abroad - Recent trips have included travel to Florence, Italy and Athens, Greece.   A trip to Peru is planned for May 2009.  For more information on the upcoming study abroad experience, see May 2009 Peru Study Abroad
