The Academy of Aristeaus is the prestigious Shorter University Honors Program. It is named for the Greek figure Aristeaus, a son of Apollo, who was known for his boundless curiosity.

The Honors Program at Shorter University provides an enriched curriculum for those students who want to go beyond regular undergraduate requirements. Students who complete the program go more deeply into their chosen field(s) than other students, as well as do intensive work in critical thinking and interdisciplinary studies, discussing contemporary issues of importance with faculty and classmates from a number of majors. No matter what program of study a student wishes to pursue, the Honors Program can enhance the quality of the educational experience.

Students are invited to participate based upon evidence of superior work from their high school records and/or their SAT or ACT test scores. Students who are selected for the Academy of Aristeaus are contacted prior to summer orientation and registration sessions. Students who are not selected but feel an interest in the program should contact the Directors.

BENEFITS

Being a part of the Honors Program brings with it numerous advantages. Participants are designated as "Honors graduates" on their university transcripts, differentiating the student in this highly competitive global marketplace.

In addition, participating students are recognized at Celebrate Shorter, as well as in the graduation program. What is more, the thesis that each Honors student writes becomes a part of the Livingston Library at Shorter University.
