American University’s Honors Program is a highly selective option for students prepared to engage in scholarly and creative work of an advanced nature as part of their experience at AU. The program encourages intellectual distinction and fosters academic excellence through selected courses and a senior Capstone project, which allows students an opportunity to work extensively with internationally recognized faculty. Students may choose to take part in the larger Honors community by living on an Honors floor in the residence halls and by participating in events on campus, in the nation’s capital, as well as abroad. Members of the Honors community can major in any discipline offered at the university and can enroll in their choice of numerous Honors courses every semester, including interdisciplinary Honors Colloquia courses.
