More About Honors


The Honors College has enriched my experience here far beyond what I could have ever expected when I decided to come to UA. It has been a pleasure to have the opportunity to interact with fellow students from all over the world and who share my love for learning for learning’s sake. The leadership and faculty of the Honors College have, in my experience, always been eager to help out their students and show a genuine interest and care for what their students have to say. I feel truly at home in the Honors College.

From my first day at UA, the Honors College has been integral to my campus life. From helping me with applying for external scholarships to giving me the resources necessary to make the most out of my talents, the Honors College has been one of the most important aspects of my life at The University of Alabama.
