Study Abroad Options
There are three different ways to study abroad and get credit towards the Honors program:
1) You can substitute a semester (or, in some cases, summer) abroad for a Foundational Interdisciplinary Sequence. Click here for more information.
2) You can go on one of the Honors faculty-led programs. In Spring/Summer 2012, there are three such opportunities:
a. A fabulous NEW opportunity for incoming freshmen the summer before you begin college — an Honors freshman seminar abroad to German and Poland. See the flyer for details.
b. The Cultural Exchange and Service Learning in Ghana program. For more information, see the flyer. Click here to see the blog for the 2012 trip.
c. Trip to Germany and Poland to study Holocaust issues. Normally this opportunity is for those of junior status.
3) You may substitute a course you take abroad for an Honors requirement. See the curriculum checklist for options. You must get approval from the director of the Honors College to make such a substitution.
