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.

2013 Honors Poster: Honors 2 + 2


For its 2013-14 poster the SAU Honors College chose to highlight its Honors 2 + 2 program which seeks to create articulation pathways between nearby two-year colleges and SAU. Thus far SAU Tech and the College of the Ouachitas have signed memorandums of understanding (MOUs). Soon, we hope to ink more MOUs with Cossatot Community College and South Arkansas Community College. Each school will have its own Honors Program with an equivalent first course, Honors Seminar. That course will provide all honors students with the same introduction to honors while also teaching them how to study and manage their time.

The Honors 2 + 2 program will allow junior level transfer students to join the SAU Honors College and to transfer their honors hours earned at their two-year colleges.
