International Education
Starting in Fall of 2007, the Honors curriculum changed to include the requirement of an International Education Experience. Since this requirement took effect, students have found a plethora of ways to study abroad and become global citizens. The Honors College is dedicated to helping students study away to gain a broader understanding of the world and to diversify their learning. Watch this video and hear about the Honors College Chancellor's Scholars' experiences in Dublin, Ireland in Fall 2012, as well as other Appalachian students' international experiences.
Established in 2009, the Heltzer Honors Program International Education Scholarship Award is given exclusively to honors students who are traveling abroad for a minimum of two weeks and gaining academic credit for their experience. Previous awardees have traveled to Costa Rica, France, Germany, Greece, Spain, Uganda, China, Japan Sweden and the Netherlands.
The Student Development International Grant was established in 2008 to assist honors students with their study abroad experiences. Honors students are eligible for this scholarship by traveling abroad for a minimum of two weeks and gaining academic credit for their experience. Previous awardees have traveled to England, France, Italy, China, Australia, Ireland, and Greece.
