Honors Program

The WAU Honors Program provides academically gifted and talented students the opportunity to engage and explore subject material in greater depth, with more choices, inspiring them to excel as independent learners within a collaborative learning community. WAU also has active chapters of numerous honor societies which help promote and recognize excellence in scholastic achievement, leadership, and character development.

Gateway to Experience

At WAU we encourage you to apply what you learn in the classroom in the real world, and one of the best ways to do that is through an internship with one of the more than 400 organizations of all types that WAU has established internship relationships with over the past ten years.

Faculty Excellence

Our faculty have outstanding academic credentials, know their fields inside and out, have years of experience in the classroom. They love to teach and it shows. But just as important, at WAU you’ll find faculty who care—about you as a student and about you as a human being, about where you are now and about where you’re going in life. And they do everything they can to help you get there.
