Study Abroad Option Heading link
Many Honors College students study abroad at some point in their undergraduate years. With careful planning, spending time studying in another country can be successfully incorporated into a student’s curriculum. Study Abroad can be counted as a student’s Honors Activity; students do not need to complete an additional Honors Activity while abroad. Students are welcome to study abroad multiple times or for more than one term.
Students engaging in a study abroad activity are required to complete two webform reflections by the following deadlines (in addition to regular Honors College Agreement Form and Completion Form requirements and deadlines):
- Study Abroad Goals Form – Must be submitted by 5pm on the Friday of Week 7
- Study Abroad Reflection Form – Must be submitted 5pm on the last Friday of the semester (Week 15)
Students receive links to these forms via email and in HARS. If these forms are not completed by the required deadlines, students will not have satisfactorily completed the activity and will not earn Honors Units.
Students will receive 1 Honors Unit for programs shorter than 2 weeks, 2 Honors Units for programs between 2-8 weeks, and 3 Honors Units for programs longer than 8 weeks studying abroad per semester.
