Your honors college experience kicks off with The Engagements. This four-course series teaches the fundamental liberal arts and sciences skills you'll use throughout your college career.
Each seminar-style Engagements course is capped at 36 students—1/3 the size of a typical UVA first-year course. In The Engagements, you form strong bonds with your classmates and your instructors. In fact, one of your Engagements professors serves as your pre-major advisor, too.
