UW
Honors Program
From the Director:
The Honors Program at the University of
Wyoming has many faces. We are a supportive group of faculty from across
the university, working to help students become independent critical
thinkers. We are talented students who come from all fields of study. We
are dedicated students who take an active role in designing our
education, preparing ourselves to lead successful and fulfilling
professional and personal lives. We are freshmen encountering the
western civilization’s great works for the first time and seniors
presenting our own independent research. We are a stimulating and
supportive community. Please take a moment to read about the many
opportunities afforded by the Honors Program, including innovative
honors seminars, international experiences, independent research
opportunities, honors scholarships, and Honors Program activities. If
you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to call: (307)
766-4110. We can also be reached via email at
honors@uwyo.edu. I welcome the opportunity to talk with you more
about this exciting program.

Introduction
The
University Honors Program is a set of opportunities for academically
able and ambitious undergraduates. Those opportunities include
innovative courses taught by award-winning faculty, special
scholarships, and independent research on questions important to you,
active leadership in a student organization that makes real decisions,
and off-campus study elsewhere in the country and the world.
The most important
opportunities are the chance to grow, to learn in the company of other
ambitious students, and to develop your talents and abilities in a
challenging and supportive environment.
Opportunities
to Excel
Honors
students have been admitted to leading graduate and professional schools
including Columbia, MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, Texas, Princeton, Oxford,
Johns Hopkins, and Pennsylvania. An honors degree from the University of
Wyoming can be an important step toward a productive and successful
future.
Priority Registration For
Honors Students Students in
the Honors Program can now pre-register for classes at the head of the
line. By registering first, they can get the courses they want
when they want them.
The Student Organization
The
Wyoming Honors Organization (WHO) gives students a voice in determining
the program's direction and sponsors many social and cultural activities
each year. It can also lead to important leadership experience.
Whether you are interested in watching the Colorado Rockies or Phantom
of the Opera, working on an Easter egg hunt for local children,
decorating business windows for Homecoming, helping select scholarship
winners, or deciding which Honors classes will be offered, WHO will
probably offer something you want to do.
