The University Honors Program is an academic experience for motivated undergraduate students who seek a challenging and intellectually enriched learning environment.

The program cultivates students in their academic development by providing small classes and seminars that are led by some of the university’s most accomplished teachers and scholars. It supports Honors students to achieve their full potential as students, prospective professionals, and future civic leaders by engaging them in high-impact practices such as study abroad/travel study, Honors conference participation, special field trips, service learning projects, and scholarship opportunities.

More than 400 students are currently active in UW-Whitewater’s Honors Program. To learn more about the program, visit uww.edu/honors.
