Honors International Engagement
Overview
In the Honors program, studying abroad is more than just visiting another country; it's engaging in global citizenship. By capturing the collective wisdom of students and faculty who have participated in and/or developed Honors study abroad programs, we have developed a framework approach to International Engagement.
This framework operates on a continuum with possibilities that range from fully-structured programs with minimal up-front investments of time and effort to open-ended independent research approaches for those who prefer to carve their own path.
