Global Honors

The Global Honors Program is the University of Washington Tacoma's interdisciplinary upper-division honors program, adding distinction to the bachelor's degree. It offers a global curriculum, a stimulating learning environment and an active community of high-achieving, motivated students from majors across campus.

The curriculum is designed to help highly motivated students enhance their education of global issues. Through rigorous core seminars, immersive study abroad opportunities, and extra-curricular events, honors scholars embark on an enriching pathway to community leadership and global citizenship. We aim to prepare students to meet the challenges of a globalizing world.
