Application

WOU Honors Application

The WOU Honors Program completely substitutes for the general education requirements at WOU. It is compatible with nearly every major on campus, but please note the exceptions about full AAOT degrees and also pre-nursing majors. No one is a "walking number" in Honors, so greater emphasis is placed on the leadership resume and G.P.A. than standardized test scores.

Step 1 of 2

50%
  • Personal Information


  • Most Recent School Attended

    Important note: Students who transfer to W.O.U with a complete associate's degree (AAOT) should not apply to Honors. That's because Honors is an alternate general education curriculum, and students with full AAOT's have already fulfilled all Gen Ed requirements.

  • Possible Major(s)

    It's entirely fine to have no idea what profession you might pursue. Write "Exploratory" if this is the case. If you have a possible major, please tell us so we can best advise you. Important Note: WOU's pre-nursing program is incompatible with Honors because its students transfer to another college to finish their nursing requirements. Honors is compatible with pre-medicine, biology, and community health majors -- but not with pre-nursing.

  • Interested in Residing in the Honors Hall?

    The Honors Hall is located in W.O.U.'s award-winning, LEED-platinum dormitory, Ackerman Hall. Checking below simply confirms your interest; it doesn't commit you financially or guarantee your residence.
  • If applicable, please list the name of your preferred roommate. Roommates need not be participants in the WOU Honors Program.

  • Statistical Information

    Unweighted G.P.A. is the only required field below. WOU does not require standardized test scores, but if you would like to include them below, please feel free to.
  • Leadership Resume

    The leadership resume is the most important section of our application, and we conceptualize leadership as broadly as possible. We know applicants come from different backgrounds, family situations, and socio-economic conditions, so feel free to list anything that demonstrates your leadership skill-set, even if not technically an "elected" or "official" position.
