Honors College<\/h1><\/header>\n\n\n

A Community of Excellence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A site of undergraduate excellence, the Honors College at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee promotes both a caring community and academic achievement with a particular emphasis on scholarly inquiry; critical thinking; effective reading, writing, and speaking; and individualized achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students from all majors have the opportunity to enrich their academic experience by integrating Honors courses into their existing degree plans. Honors seminars are offered in the arts, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, culminating in an Honors College degree–the highest undergraduate degree available at UWM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I love being a part of the Honors college. It gives me a chance to think in a different way and take interesting classes that aren\u2019t related to my major. The professors are all high caliber and the discussions are always engaging.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Live. Think. Grow.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Students live and thrive with other Honors students in the Honors Living and Learning Community across the street from Honors House. Seminars challenge thinking, teach research and writing, and prepare students for careers and further education. Honors community events and opportunities grow the whole student, from first year to graduation and beyond.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
