Call for Classes
The UNCW Honors College is an enriching environment for interdisciplinary and intellectually curious students at UNCW.
What does an Honors Student look like?:
They are bright, motivated, hard-working, and not afraid to ask good questions and discuss issues.
They want to be active participants in their own education.
They are the kind of students you would like to have for that dream course or for innovative teaching techniques that you may have been wanting to try out for a while.
