Welcome to Honors & Experiential Learning
The Fulbright College Honors Program was established in 1955 to provide an intellectually engaging, challenging, and rewarding learning environment for qualified students in the College of Arts & Sciences. 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.
