Honors Curriculum

Honors Core

Honors students participate in an alternate curriculum that completely substitutes for the General Education requirements at WOU.  Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) and related credits count, where allowed.

Exploratory Honors

Exploratory courses are multi-disciplinary so you can sample different interests. Six are required for graduation, and you choose the ones you want.

Honors Thesis/Senior Projects

The Senior Project represents a significant endeavor that can be creative, scholarly, scientific, service-oriented, or experiential.  Non-traditional options (leadership portfolio, wellness project, culture project) also exist, so a student can pursue work that is individualistic and meaningful to them.
