Did you know you can explore the world, study abroad multiple times and address important issues before graduating? The International Scholars Program helps students do exactly that!

As a joint initiative of the School of Languages, Cultures and World Affairs, the Department of International Studies and the Honors College, this program gives undergraduate students the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of global education and receive professional mentoring.

Global thinkers come from all backgrounds and interests. Whether you’re passionate about economics or public health, political science or pre-med, this program will open doors to possibilities all over the world. International Scholars complete a double-major in International Studies and any other major of choice.

Through a fully funded, three-week study abroad excursion, additional abroad opportunities and colloquium events, the cohort allows students a sense of belonging in a small group setting.

Interested in becoming an International Scholar? Apply to the Honors College by the appropriate deadline and you’ll be considered for an invitation to interview! There’s no separate application process. The International Scholars Program welcomes approximately ten new students each year.
