The Augusta University Honors Program provides all motivated and high-potential learners the opportunity to enhance their undergraduate education.

Our honors curriculum encompasses three central educational goals—knowledge, communication, and professionalism—supported through creative core courses, unique interdisciplinary seminars, and mentored projects. The process of undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative activity culminates in an honors thesis. Throughout the program honors students receive advising, instruction, and mentoring from honors staff and faculty and the support to present their findings at appropriate state, regional, and national conferences.

"I am a senior psychology major with a pre-med concentration. I am currently fascinated with being a hematology/oncology physician. I like watching anime, drawing, and taking care of my plants. I want to be a mentor to share the knowledge and advice I love building connections with first years."

"I am a senior this year, trying to navigate through college. So, I know how hard it is to begin college! I am majoring in Cellular and Molecular Biology, pre-med, and minoring in Anthropology. I LOVE reading in my spare time (lots of different genres). My favorite book series is the Throne of Glass. Not only this, but I love watching k-dramas, too. I also like hanging out with my friends when I have time. My favorite color is pink (pastel, of course). Please don't hesitate to reach out when you're feeling overwhelmed and need help. I am happy to help!"

"I am a senior at Augusta University majoring in chemistry. I like reading, going on long walks, watching shows and movies, if I am not doing any of the above or studying for a class I'm probably napping. I also have been learning how to cook recently so if you have any good recipes, feel free to recommend them."
