What is Honors Abroad?


Each spring semester, groups of first- and second-year Honors students get to expand their college experience beyond international boundaries. Through the program, you'll get to live and study for a semester in…
  • London, England

    Honors Abroad in London is based in the South Kensington area and is administered in partnership with the Foundation for International Education (FIE), a London-based nonprofit with more than 25 years of experience coordinating study abroad programs.

    Over the course of the semester, you'll take courses in British life and culture, global leadership, and service learning, complemented by guided tours, site visits, and independent exploration. And if you participate as a sophomore, you'll also get to take on a local internship aligned with their academic interests.
