The Honors College strongly encourages students to study abroad. In addition to the wide range of study abroad options available through the Center for Global Engagement, students can choose programs that are specifically tailored to the interests of Honors students.
Our programs combine the hallmarks of Honors education - interdisciplinary, self-directed study, and academic rigor - with a global focus on cultural competencies, mutual understanding, and diversity of thought and experience. To make our short-term programs affordable and accessible, the Honors College contributes significant funding to lower the overall program fees for all students.
Interested students should consult with Dr. Felix Wang, Assistant Dean to learn more about our programs and funding opportunities.
