The UW Tacoma 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 select juniors at UW Tacoma who recognize the need for a 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, its study abroad option, a culminating capstone paper, individual attention and special benefits, Global Honors adds substantially to options available to students at UW Tacoma who are highly motivated, ready to challenge themselves, and excited to be part of a special learning community. Space is limited; the program begins accepting applications in June. For more information, see www.tacoma.washington.edu/globalhonors.
