About the Division/College/School

The Honors College is the home to more than 7,000 high-performing and high-potential students at The University of Alabama. It is our mission to recruit, retain and actively engage them within a diverse community of scholars. Our goal is to shape our students into critical and creative thinkers, ethical and empathetic citizens and collaborative and inclusive leaders. Rather than offering specific degrees, the Honors College enhances UA’s undergraduate curriculum through experiential learning and co-curricular opportunities.

The University of Alabama Honors College offers eight distinctive honors programs and one minor across numerous disciplines. From the establishment of the Honors College in 2003, the College has housed three of these programs: the University Honors Program, the Randall Research Scholars Program and the University Fellows Experience. The four-year University Honors Program develops students as creative and critical thinkers, ethical and empathetic citizens, and collaborative and inclusive leaders. The Randall Research Scholars Program is a nationally recognized undergraduate research program that pairs exceptional students directly with leading research professors and cutting-edge computing technology to complete scholarly research projects in any field of study. The University Fellows Experience is a community of elite scholars from diverse disciplines who share a similar passion to become change agents through commitment to leadership and service. The Honors College partners with the College of Arts and Sciences on the Blount Scholars Program and the McCollough Institute for Pre-Medical Scholars, with the Culverhouse College of Business on the STEM Path to the MBA and the CREATE Path to the MBA, with the College of Engineering on the EPIC Scholars Program, and with the College of Education on the Educational Studies Minor.
