Study Abroad Opportunities

The Honors semester at Glasgow University will allow you to:

1. Complete an Honors course elective, The Ideas and Influences of the Scottish Enlightenment: 18th to the 21st Centuries.
   The University of Glasgow has created a unique course for our Honors students. Using major figures and ideas from the Scottish Enlightenment, Honors students will see how those ideas continue to be important in intellectual and cultural life in the 21st century. Interdisciplinary perspectives from art/aesthetics, religion, philosophy, politics/economics, and science will inform this course. The institutional model is the traditional Oxbridge model of public lectures and small group seminars. Leading scholars will provide over-arching ideas in the public lectures, which are then further developed through discussion in small group seminars/tutorials.
2. Take an additional 2 courses in your major or minor.
   The University of Glasgow has both breadth and depth in most undergraduate majors. Science and Pre-Med Honors students will have access to a sophisticated range of disciplines and courses. Fine and liberal arts majors as well as business will have an exciting variety of course options. All Honors at Glasgow students will have access to level 3 and some level 4 courses not usually available to other study abroad students.
3. Participate in unique opportunities:
   • Chance to study at an internationally recognized university
   • Special cultural immersion events for Honors students both inside and outside the classroom
   • Possibility of service learning or internships
   • Meet some of the 3,000 other international students from 24 countries around the world
   • Meet and become friends with Honors students from our consortium member institutions in the U.S.
   • Travel in the U.K. and the European continent
   • Live in a different but accessible culture
