Study abroad and Internships
Honors College Study Abroad
The Honors College encourages all Honors College students to study abroad during their undergraduate career. Students can earn Honors credit for their study abroad experience by completing a study abroad project. Honors students may receive 3 units toward their Honors seminar requirements for summer or Minimester study abroad or 6 units for a full semester abroad (fall or spring).
Requirements:
An Honors College student choosing to complete an Honors College Study Abroad Project as an Honors course option, must:
- Complete, with grades of C or better, all courses enrolled in during the time abroad;
- Submit at least 6 (preferably digital) photographs suitable for the Honors College’s study abroad web pages, including pictures of the student in the country in which s/he is studying (need to complete release form);
- Write and submit a reflective paper (see Reflection Paper Guidelines);
- Present a fifteen-minute talk describing experiences abroad following return to Towson University including stories about your photographs, a description of the program in which you participated, the application process, the class you took and how it differed from Towson classes, and you should discuss what it was like living in a foreign county, adjustments you made, challenges you faced, food, culture, news, and anything else of interest to you.
Students should turn in their transcript, photos, and reflective paper by the end of the first month after their return to Towson University.
Honors College Study Abroad Scholarship:
To be considered for an Honors College Study Abroad Scholarship, students must submit their Honors College Study Abroad Approval Form to the Honors College by November 1 (for minimester and spring study abroad) or April 1 (for summer and fall study abroad).
Preference for Honors College Study Abroad Scholarships is given to students who have demonstrated their participation and service in the Honors College.
Restrictions:
Students participating in short-term study abroad courses (minimester or summer) may receive 3 units toward their Honors Electives requirements if they complete a study abroad project. Honors students participating in a full-term study abroad may receive 6 units toward their Honors Electives if they complete a study abroad project. Questions about the Study Abroad Project should be directed to the Honors College Assistant Dean.
