The Honors College is a community of learners practicing the arts of inquiry, conversation, collaboration, and communication.

Through interdisciplinary research and teaching, we seek to test ourselves and our ideas in the public square, and to embrace as partners others encountered in the same quest.

The Honors College serves UCA by recruiting academically talented and motivated students to campus and engaging them through enhanced educational opportunities in a living/learning environment designed to develop their capacities as citizen-scholars. Three aspects of student development are highlighted: (1) scholarship-learning the arts of inquiry and conversation that culminate in structured academic research, academic writing and oral presentation; (2) leadership-practicing the organizational skills of collaboration, planning and assessment, and the personal skills of self-discipline and task management that culminate in the capacity to guide or direct group-based work; and (3) citizenship-understanding the importance of civic involvement and giving back to the larger community, culminating in occasions of service that draw upon scholarship and leadership capacities.
