UAA Honors College

Coming Soon! A New Honors Experience at UAA

UAA is transitioning to an exciting new honors program designed to help you explore your passions, get involved on campus, give back to your communities, and set yourself apart from your peers when you hit the job market or apply to graduate school. Here is a snapshot of the key features of our new Honors program:

Choose your Honors Track

• Can't wait to do research in a lab or have your first art exhibition? Love to give back to your community? Passionate about multicultural studies? Or see yourself as a future leader? You can design your Honors pathway to dive deeply into one of these areas by focusing your college experience on the things you are passionate about! Track options include Undergraduate Research & Creative Activity, Community Engagement, Leadership & Service, and Multicultural & Global Studies.

Customize your Honors Pathway

• The new UAA Honors program allows students to design a customized pathway that will include much more than just Honors course work. While you will take Honors sections of some of your required courses in things like writing, communication, or math, you will also complete an experimental immersion (like a legislative internship, a summer research fellowship, or a semester at sea), engage in campus leadership, take part in mentorship or service (like serving in student government, being a peer mentor or peer learning assistant, or a leadership fellow), and complete an Honors project in your last year that builds on all of your college experiences.

Take Honors Sections of Required Classes

• Starting in Spring 2022, you will be able to take Honors sections of some of your required courses in writing, communications, and math to fulfill requirements for the Honors college.
