This is a competitive application process.
In order to apply to the History Honors Program students must meet these prerequisites:
    A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.3
    A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 in history
    At least 10 credits of upper division history coursework (300-400 level) completed in residence at the University of Washington


To apply to the Honors in History program, students must complete the online application, which includes:

  *   Unofficial Transcript (you can obtain a PDF of your unofficial UW transcript from your MyUW account)
  *   Writing Sample: This should be a class paper (previous or current) that examines primary sources, secondary sources, or a combination of both. It should present an argument and include proper citations. Some examples of a writing sample are a research paper, a primary source analysis, a critical review of a secondary source, or a historiography. While a history paper is preferred, you should submit your best paper to date. Please limit your writing sample to 10 pages.
  *   Statement of Purpose addressing your academic interests: Please share some possible research topic(s) for your Honors in History project. (We will not hold you to this topic(s) but would like to get a sense of your interests.) Why would you like to complete Honors in History requirements? This might include long-term goals and/or skills and strengths you hope to gain from the program. Limit your response to one page.
  *   Two Recommendations:  one of these must be from an instructor of a UW history course. Instructors will submit a recommendation form which they may access via this link<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/forms.gle/QfR6GjDbs31G97u68__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!nZnMITtI83-5L_lQaWUIXaYh5opkdnRBe1nPC02SVoKnZ4qpP0g07RyPHbgiHSx-zRlKY9WL_bYto90Kku7kcz8$>.
