From the UW Honors Program, courses open to all students:
I wanted to highlight a couple of exciting Honors course offerings for Winter 2026! The Honors Courses page is up to date with full course descriptions and further details about these courses, as is the Honors Time Schedule. Honors-prefix courses are open for all students to register for and have no prerequisites. They are suitable for students of every academic year and background, so please share these courses with your student populations if you think they’d be interested!
