In the honors program, we create a community where motivated students learn and grow together. We provide students the best of both worlds—the personal education afforded by a small liberal arts college together with special scholarships, study abroad opportunities, and a generous stipend to facilitate student research. There are also many intangible benefits that accompany inclusion in the Honors community, such as lifetime friendships that develop in and outside the classroom, personal relationships with professors and mentors, and an open intellectual climate that encourages genuine engagement with many ideas and perspectives. Membership in the Harrison Honors Program also offers each student an opportunity to be part of a close-knit community by way of informal gatherings, social activities, and cultural and arts events.
“Birmingham-Southern College is no less than transformative. More than an academic institution, it’s a place where you learn more about who you are. More than forging a career path, you forge lifelong friendships. More than just a degree when you walk across that stage in four years, you are given new perspectives, renewed purpose, and a hunger to be the best version of yourself. At BSC, I realized my purpose, shed a very high school notion that the world revolves around me, created real true unwavering friendships I will carry well past those four years. In short: I became the best version of myself.” -- Aditi Prasad ’18, Economics, Harrison Honors Scholar
