APU Honors College The Honors College aims to educate the next generation of disciples, scholars, leaders, & citizens. Why are we here? What are our responsibilities to others?

The Honors College curriculum starts with the premise that good leadership requires a clear sense of what ought to be done and how best to do it. Such an understanding starts with examining life’s most important questions: Who are we? Who is God and what is our relationship with him? What is good? What is true? What is beautiful? These questions, which raise issues of meaning, value, and purpose, are the backbone of the Honors curriculum. Students study classic works that address these questions and prompt serious discussion. In this vein, the Honors College intends to produce scholarly disciples, equipped and worthy to assume positions of leadership, having grown in wisdom, virtue, faith, and eloquence. The Honors College core curriculum comprises nine courses that lead to an Honors Humanities major (a minor is also available). Completion of the major waives all of the university’s General Education requirements, which means students do not need to take General Education courses. Honors Humanities is not a standalone major; Honors scholars also complete an additional major in their field of study. Both majors can typically be completed while graduating in four years.
