Engaging in conversations to connect ideas across fields and carrying that curiosity far beyond the classroom is at the heart of the Honors Program.
Biology Professor, Jon Herron (speaking at our Nov. 12 event), inspires Honors Huskies to treat the scientific method as a way of thinking about life.

About Honors
The University of Washington Honors Program adds rich dimension to one of the world’s top research universities for undergraduates who are up to the challenge. Students have three options to benefit from our Program: as an interdisciplinary education track, as an in-depth program within their majors, or as a combination of the two. Our core interdisciplinary curriculum promotes expansive critical thinking, engaged global citizenship, and comprehensive learning that builds resilience and collaborative practice. Students may apply to the Honors Program as new freshmen, at the end of their first year, or once they’ve selected a major.
