You’ll have the freedom to tailor your schedule

In the American Honors program, you will have the flexibility to structure your time to accommodate your specific needs – and it’s up to you whether you want to pursue your degree full time or part time. As a student, you’ll work on team projects in the Honors Lounge, a meeting place set aside for American Honors students. You’ll join live video sessions, share research and collaborate online – from wherever you need to be. You’ll make friends on campus and online. And you’ll have time to take care of family and take care of business. Here's what a day in the life can look like in the American Honors program... 

Morning

• Log into Quad. 
• Read your friends’ posts on your Quad activity stream. 
• Check your calendar for due dates and class times. 
• Chat with your instructor about yesterday’s assignment. 
• Head to campus to work on your team project in the Honors Lounge. 
• Take a break at a coffee shop with friends. Log into Quad. 
• Join your advisor via video chat to discuss possible classes for next semester.

• Join your hybrid class. Help your professor lead the discussion. 
• Briefly discuss your performance with your professor after class.
