Academics

A curriculum for your future

As an Honors student, you’re eligible for privileges available only to you and your Honors peers.

Academic benefits include:

  • early enrollment for courses, so you have better access to the classes you want or need
  • small, seminar-style Honors classes
  • individual advising services for Honors requirements
  • extended library privileges
  • faculty mentorship and the ability to participate in research projects
  • graduation with distinction
  • study abroad opportunities
  • a personalized Capstone project that can substitute a standard thesis

It’s your future. You choose how to get there.

Honors Capstone

Throughout your progression in Honors, you define your own Capstone project. Individually tailored your proposal will guide your scholarship while helping fulfill your academic, career, and personal goals. Unlike most honors colleges, you may use a variety of options to complete your Honors capstone, including independent study, internships, or undergraduate research.

Honors courses

The Honors College provides a path that helps fulfill your general education requirements and some of your major requirements. Our discussion-based Honors courses fill your general education and major requirements, so you get extra quality, not extra courses.

Faculty in Residence

As an Honors College student, you’ll have the opportunity to take courses with our visiting faculty in residence. Currently, our faculty in residence is housed in the School of Informatics, Computing, and Cyber Systems, Dr. Morgan Vigil-Hayes. Each Fall Dr. Vigil-Hayes gives the annual Gumerman Public Lecture for the Honors College. She is also dedicated to developing the various paths through the College of Engineering for NAU’s Honors College students.

Study abroad

We encourage all students to consider our many opportunities to study abroad. We offer programs of varying lengths, and many don’t require you to speak another language.
