More About the Program
As an intellectually motivated learner with great ambitions, you will find yourself embraced within Seattle University’s proud Honors tradition.
Working Toward a Just Future for All
We believe this requires a wide-ranging and interdisciplinary understanding of how the world we share came to be the way it is.
The ethos of the University Honors Program draws from Jesuit educational goals: while emphasizing a rigorous academic education, it understands this education as a holistic one, encouraging the intellectual, spiritual, and emotional growth of the student.
Our Honors program is structured around the belief that a truly academic education leads students both to an understanding of the world in its diversity and to an understanding of themselves in the world. A truly academic education, at the same time, instills in students a critical concern with such understanding, a desire to act ethically and responsibly on the basis of it, and an empowering impulse to ask further questions and explore new answers.
