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.

Russell, Lauren. (2009). Priority Scheduling

If one is enrolled in an Honors College, one is required to take honors classes. These classes, because of their rigor and the low number of students willing to take them, are often scarcely offered and conflicts with scheduling are not uncommon. In order to graduate on time, students must take all of the required honors courses in a timely manner. Thus, students actively involved in their Honors College should get the first selection of courses so that their schedule will include all courses needed and can graduate on time. The Honors College at Southern Arkansas University is meeting this characteristic by providing it’s students with priority scheduling.
