SAU Honors College

The SAU Honors College was founded in 2003 by Dr. David Rankin, president of SAU. Dr. Lynne Belcher served as founding director and is retired from SAU. The Honors College seeks and admits qualified students who seek to pursue a serious academic program with equally gifted peers and committed teachers. Honors classes are small and provide academically enriching opportunities for students and the faculty who teach them. Currently, SAU enrolls nearly 170 honors students and graduates about 66% of admitees in four years or less. Anyone interested in applying to the Honors College or seeking further information should contact the director, Dr. Edward P. Kardas at epkardas@saumag.edu or at 870 904-8897.

Upcoming Events, Early Fall 2010-SAU Honors College

REVISED AUGUST 12, 2010. BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME COST OF RENTING A LARGE BUS CAPABLE OF CARRYING 50 PASSENGERS THE TRIP TO FT. WORTH WILL NOW BE LIMITED TO 22 STUDENTS. WE WILL TAKE A SMALLER SAU BUS INSTEAD.

We will publish the mechanism by which you may subscribe to the trip in a few weeks. The subscription process will be done online and will be announced well ahead of time, online, in classes, and on bulletin boards. EVERYONE WITH INTERNET ACCESS WILL HAVE AN EQUAL CHANCE OF GETTING A SEAT. IT WILL, HOWEVER, BE FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE.
