WELCOME TO HONORS & EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

We offer a unique curriculum that includes small classes, interdisciplinary approaches, and experiential learning opportunities. Our students work alongside top faculty and highly-motivated peers to create an intellectual community that advances the University of Arkansas mission in research, creativity, and community service.
