Honors College, University Interdisciplinary Programs
Introduction
Western’s Honors College allows students to combine the best of a private liberal arts college experience (small classes, interaction with professors and other students, and the opportunity to work on research and creative activities with faculty) with the advantages of a much larger public institution, including a wide variety of majors, outstanding academic facilities, and numerous extra-curricular options.
The Honors College is structured in a way that provides a graduated, on-going experience for students as they engage in increasingly sophisticated work while moving through their Western degree.
Admission is selective - students apply to join the College through a supplemental application accessed from the Honors College website. Transfer students or students already enrolled in the university may apply to the College on the bases of academic record, a writing sample, and the recommendation of a university or other faculty member.
Students in the Honors College are eligible for HNRS courses and have the opportunity to undertake extended Honors independent study projects in their major fields.
Students interested in Honors should contact the Honors College in Old Main 330, 360-650-3034, or visit the Honors College website, for more information.
