talking about all three majors together. IHON is a different way to do your general education requirements. Instead of taking separate subjects like math and art, classes offer integrated topics.

globally is the key. IHON students don’t simply study issues from afar – they study them from a variety of perspectives and in a variety of disciplines like the arts, economics, philosophy, politics and religion. They are not simply reading about the great thinkers and the great ideas that have made the world what it is – they are systematically dissecting and testing these ideas and looking at them from every perspective.

My PLU experience: One word enters my head when I think about my PLU experience: support. It has been an incredible experience that has challenged me to look beyond my culture, my understanding of my family, my friends and myself.
