Honors College
From academic excellence to social responsibility, the Honors College cultivates the next generation of leaders and thinkers.
Believe in your passion, that you are here to achieve your goals and that you will be able to make it through this and any other challenge you face.
All the professors I’ve made connections with have truly been there for me throughout my college career. They’re always willing to help and encourage me to succeed.
The diversity of the student body, the great faculty and the smaller class sizes are a few of the great things about this university. The faculty are more than willing to help you succeed and the smaller class sizes make it much easier to make connections.
I love the inclusivity, the environment, and I feel like I truly belong at PNW. PNW is everything I could ask for and possibly more.
