The College of Letters & Science Honors Program provides a community for many of UW-Madison’s most engaged and intellectually curious undergraduates. The Program offers three degree tracks: Honors in the Liberal Arts, Honors in the Major, and Comprehensive Honors (which includes Honors in the Liberal Arts).
The Honors in the Liberal Arts track can be a great fit for students who enjoy learning about new subjects and wish to embrace the benefits of a liberal arts education fully. Students do not need to decide on a major or have committed to attending UW to apply. There is no single Honors student profile; the L&S Honors Program values applicants from all backgrounds.
This application should only be completed by students hoping to complete Honors in the Liberal Arts or Comprehensive Honors. The Honors in the Major track can be declared after students begin their studies on campus and officially declare a major. If you would like to receive more information about an Honors in the Major track during the Fall semester, please plan on connecting with a major and/or Honors advisor once you arrive on campus.
Use this application if you would be a new first-year student in the College of Letters & Science in the upcoming Summer or Fall term. Please note that students with a major outside of L&S (including School of Business and College of Engineering majors) are generally not eligible to complete Honors in the Liberal Arts through the College of Letters & Science.
Current UW students and new transfer students can find information about an alternate application process on the L&S Honors Program website.
Deadlines (11:59 PM Central Time): Please apply as soon as possible since space in the program is limited. You may apply before receiving an admissions decision from UW. Applications are then reviewed once a student is admitted to UW’s College of Letters & Science.
