Arts + Architecture Honors Program
COLLEGE OF ARTS + ARCHITECTURE HONORS PROGRAM
Director: Dr. Jae Emerling
The Arts + Architecture Honors Program (AAHP) brings students together from all units of the CoA+A through coursework and extracurricular activities. AAHP furthers the CoA+A’s goals of providing creative leadership for the UNC Charlotte and greater Charlotte communities by encouraging and developing the full potential of its outstanding students. AAHP students take an active and engaged role in their own education within an interdisciplinary curriculum built on the shared nature of the built, visual, and performing arts. AAHP students not only explore connections between their various artistic disciplines, but also between the arts and the community. The Program’s aim is to foster a unique educational experience for our students, one that culminates in them understanding the aesthetic, social, and ethical reasons why artistic creation of all kinds is essential to the human endeavor. Our program challenges its students and offers them the opportunity to engage in the most innovative undergraduate creative research in the UNC system.
