Current AU Students
Students who were not invited to join the University Honors Program as freshmen, but who, once at American University, demonstrate academic excellence (a cumulative GPA of 3.6 or higher, rigorous coursework, innovative research, etc.), may nominate themselves for admission to the program after completing two full-time academic semesters at AU.
To complete the self-nomination process:
- Fill out the self-nomination form (See Related Links - Honors Forms)
- Attach an unofficial copy of your academic transcript
- Enclose a copy of your resumé
- Request a letter of recommendation from an AU professor and send it to:
Prof. Michael Mass, Director
University Honors Program
206 Hurst Hall
- Return the form and transcript to the University Honors Center in Hurst Hall 206
Upon receipt of all documents, the University Honors Program will then contact you to arrange a meeting with the director. At that time, program requirements, including the number of Honors course credits you will need to complete, will be outlined. Typically, students who self-nominate into the program are required to complete fewer than the 30 Honors credits mandated for Honors students admitted as freshmen, but at least 21, including 12 upper-level Honors credits.
