Global Honors instructors and council members past and present include internationally renowned faculty drawn from programs across campus. We also collaborate with community partners who have exceptional professional experience. Together, they bring outstanding teaching and research records to our interdisciplinary curriculum, and introduce our students to a range of subjects, methodologies and case studies that have important implications for all majors.
Professors often cite Global Honors courses as ranking amongst their most satisfying teaching experiences at UWT. Both faculty and students benefit greatly from the close working relationships that are possible in a small seminar style learning environment.
