The Wartburg Honors Community brings together highly motivated students from all majors across campus. Our vibrant, interdependent community values inclusion, creative problem-solving, critical thinking, productive collaboration, and the pursuit of intellectual passions.

The Honors curriculum enriches students’ Wartburg experiences by providing a balance between the solidarity of a cohort (via the Honors sections of the four THRIVE Seminars) and the flexibility to pursue one’s own passions via the Honors senior project. The Honors Seminars also provide opportunities for professionalization and mentorship through the process of applying for prestigious internships, national scholarships and fellowships, and graduate or professional school.

By building stronger connections with other students, faculty, and staff, Wartburg’s Honors students develop the critical skills necessary to address the complex problems of the twenty-first century.
