The aim of Honors Year One is to aid each student in exploring and establishing their place within the Honors College, The University of Alabama and the greater community. Students will learn and practice the key concepts of engaged scholarship, including critical and creative thinking, ethical and empathetic dialogue, and collaborative and inclusive leadership. Students will gain a practical understanding of the Honors College and their role within it, while also building relationships that foster continued participation in the kinship of scholars.
All new incoming Honors College freshmen are required to enroll in an Honors Year One course during their first year.
