At PLU, four core foundations define the honors curriculum: multidisciplinary approaches historical and internationally focused study intentional intellectual formation and ethical reflection, and
from at least two separate cultures with distinct historical and cultural norms. Intellectual Formation and Ethical Reflection: The curriculum asks students to examine critically the basic assumptions cultures from all over the world and all different times have about the nature of life and the world we live in. This includes critically examining the origins of the concept of “The West” and “Western” culture. The IHON curriculum encourages students to develop an informed, personal worldview

Free inquiry shapes effective worldly intelligence and service in the world. Martin Luther’s free investigation of scripture led to his breakthrough and the posting of the ninety-five theses on
depths of the human experience. The social sciences inquire into the forces of society and culture. Music and art are practiced, composed, and crafted. All students take critically-sophisticated classes in philosophy and religion. One of the best and largest Departments of Religion in the West conducts inquiry across a broad range of sub-disciplines. Indeed, Pacific Lutheran rests within this robust intellectual tradition and its insistence on freedom of inquiry.

Highline Community College in Des Moines, Wash. But it was the music program that eventually drew Pogue to PLU. When he arrived at PLU, he immediately tried out and won on a slot in the prestigious Choir of the West. Pogue had thought he might have to wait a year to earn a spot on the choir. But when the choir’s leader, Prof. Richard Nance, called him with the good news, Pogue said he was so overwhelmed he had to pull over on the freeway to let his good fortune sink in.

I also am incredibly blessed and grateful for my four years in PLU choirs, which have taken me on a journey I could never have dreamed of, including a tour to Germany and France last summer with the Choir of the West. And, of course, no engineering education is complete without the construction of a trebuchet. All of these experiences are integral to who I am today and I would not trade them for the world.
