What are Global Honors students doing right now? Read about it in their own words on the Global Honors blog.

The Global Honors Program serves students in all undergraduate majors who wish to enter careers directed toward the real needs of our region and our world at a time when global interactions are transforming our planet.

Global Honors is open to a limited number of qualified students, beginning in the spring of sophomore year or early in the junior year, who recognize the need for a more complete and sophisticated understanding of world problems. The program builds on the strengths of exceptional faculty from all academic units at UW Tacoma.

With core courses organized as seminars, a recommended international study-abroad component, a culminating thesis or paper, individual attention and special benefits, Global Honors adds substantially to options available to those students at UW Tacoma who are highly motivated and ready to challenge themselves and expand their capabilities.
