William O. Douglas Honors College The William O. Douglas Honors College (DHC), founded in 1977, is a two-tiered course of study for academically talented students at Central Washington University (CWU). The first tier satisfies the general education requirements of CWU and the second tier prepares students for their post-CWU aspirations, be it the global workplace and/or graduate school. The college is named for U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, a native of Yakima, Washington and a great supporter of higher education. Following Justice Douglas’ example, the DHC encourages intellectual breadth, academic curiosity and the application of scholarship to pressing social issues. Students wishing to apply should contact the DHC Office to find out about minimum qualifications and the application process. For additional information call us at (509) 963-1900.
