Meet Hao, an international student from Vietnam who is studying Chemical Engineering.
“I choose American Honors because we a lot of honors classes which I really like and I have support from my AH advisor. And when I saw the name "American Honors" I just really liked it. It was like it was something special. If I wasn’t in AH I would be on my own and would feel less brave than I do right now.”

Meet Minh, an international student originally from Vietnam whose big dream is to become a lawyer in order to help people.

"I feel like AH has helped me a lot. My advisors are so great. I love them so much. I just took the TOEFL on Saturday and Mary took me to the test center that was about an hour away from Jackson at 6 in the morning. She waited for me to finish and then took me to a restaurant to have a ‘real’ lunch! I felt really good about how I did on the test compared to when I took it in high school. I could definitely see my improvement."

Meet Quan, an international student originally from Vietnam who graduated from the American Honors program last year and is now studying Telecommunications at University of Florida. This is what he has to say about his experience with our program.

"My advisor, Maria was a great advisor. She was very accessible when responding to students. I can’t deny that her advising has played an important role in my education. AH is beyond the 4-wall experience. You just don’t go to classes and study. It is whole universe beyond that. There is community service and extracurricular activities that you can get involved in. As result, you start picking up new skills. This is something that I really advise other students to do - get involved and really use their time wisely rather than waiting and expecting someone to lend a hand."
