The mission of the University of Wyoming Honors College is to provide a diverse body of motivated students with an interdisciplinary academic experience that positions them for success. The Honors College is an inclusive community that challenges students to think ethically, creatively, and collaboratively and to cultivate inquiry, reflection, and personal growth. We ask students to explore multiple academic fields, experience co-curricular activity, and produce original research or creative work. Honors promotes the intellectual experimentation and discovery that attract and retain some of UW’s finest students and faculty.
The vision of the Honors College at the University of Wyoming is to be a diverse and dynamic hub of innovative education. We create opportunities for students and faculty, support them in pushing the frontiers of knowledge and self-discovery, and cultivate their engaged citizenship.
