Welcome to the Honors Program!

The Angelo State University Honors Program is designed to add value to an ASU education by offering academically talented students an enriched learning experience. While its focus is primarily academic, the Honors Program is also dedicated to providing its students with a well-rounded, individualized experience that addresses their personal and professional goals.

The Honors Program seeks to foster self-confidence, campus involvement and independence through a variety of experiences both inside and outside the classroom. Honors students receive personalized career advising, work with top notch faculty, participate in numerous cultural events and are members of a special, intellectual and exciting community of students.
