Dare to know AU Honors Program

Welcome to AU Honors

We begin in wonder, journey in curiosity, and ultimately, dare to know. The AU Honors Program brings together a diverse group of students and faculty to engage in experiential and inquiry-driven learning. Propelled by curiosity and a desire to take risks, our students endeavor to push the bounds of the known and the knowable throughout their academic journeys. The program supports students as they dare to contribute to knowledge, creative expression, and meaningful change.

Why AU Honors

AU Honors fosters critical thinking, intellectual growth, and readiness for careers or graduate school. Beyond the carefully structured first year, each semester in Honors prepares students by building skills and knowledge for the next.
