Honors Learning Communities
As members of the Honors learning community, students establish connections with Honors faculty from their first term on campus, meet regularly with Honors advisors, and enjoy the enthusiasm and inspiration of like-minded peers.
Honors students can also benefit from living with students of similar academic commitment and abilities. The Honors Residence Floor is located on the fourth floor of UAA's East Hall.
