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...
