What are your thoughts on the Honors College? How has it impacted your time at UAHuntsville?
The Honors College has enriched my experience here at UAH since my first day on campus. I love the small class size, which allows for one-on-one interaction between the student and professor. It also allows for in-depth discussion that can involve everyone in the class.
