Excelling through honors

Enhanced Academics & Research
Honors courses follow a framework like that of the National Collegiate Honors Council, offering innovative seminars or labs, undergraduate research, and experiential learning that deepen your knowledge.

Selectivity & Rigor
We partner with globally recognized universities, include honors-designated course titles or codes, and require smaller class sizes to ensure close interaction and mentorship.

Cohort Experience & On-Site Support
You'll learn alongside fellow high-achieving peers and benefit from on-site staff who help integrate honors students into cultural activities, excursions, and academic support.

Language & Cultural Integration
Many honors options include immersive language study and co-curricular excursions to help you engage deeply with the host community.

Programs to consider

Our featured honors programs are designed for high-achieving students looking to deepen their studies abroad.
