A Letter from the Director

Dear Visitor:

An uncommon honors college requires an uncommon welcome. Honors colleges typically aim at telling about all the bells and whistles. At Faulkner University the Honors College was established with deep Christian conviction that academic excellence and service should always go together.

So while we could feature all the benefits of the Great Books approach we would rather draw your attention to the genuine community to which you would belong. We should mention other perks such as the book scholarship that covers all your books for each Great Books course, but we would rather have you feel a sense of calling to service of God and one another. Many programs talk about the expert faculty and international reputation of the program. These are important, but not as important as the sense of purpose, contribution and accomplishment we cultivate at Faulkner.

Using merely worldly standards, we think we compare well to some of the best programs. However, we are measured by a different standard. We read, write, think, discuss, and serve with the sense that there are eternal implications to all that we are doing.

We have a unique conference-room setting, all-expense paid academic and social trips to places such as Washington, D. C. and other benefits, but when all is said and done, it is our top priority to glorify God with the time, minds, and lives He has given us. We invite you to join us at Faulkner, if you are seeking an uncommon life shaping experience.
