Honors Seminars
The seminars are selected from proposals submitted by interested faculty in the WOU community. They are open to anyone in the Honors Program and are designed to allow highly motivated and dynamic teachers and students the opportunity to learn together.
Because of the diversity of student majors in the Honors Program, courses are oriented towards non-majors. Seminars in the past have ranged from once-in-a-lifetime offerings to enhanced versions of courses that faculty regularly teach well.
Faculty who wish to propose a seminar should click here to download the application form. This form is also available on the Forms & Paperwork page.
