Find a study abroad program
Global Honors students often study abroad during the summer between their junior and senior years. But you may also study abroad during the academic year. When choosing a program, you should consider:
- Location
- Duration of program
- Course content
- Prerequisites for program
- Cost
If you choose the option to study abroad, you may do so at any time in your junior year or by December of your senior year.
You can choose among programs offered by UW Tacoma, UW Seattle and UW Bothell. You can also choose an unaffiliated program.
Study abroad programs
- UW Tacoma International Programs
- UW Seattle International Programs & Exchanges Search
- UW Seattle Exploration Seminars
- UW Seattle Comparative History of Ideas (CHID) International Programs
International internships
International volunteer work
Another way to have a meaningful experience abroad is to volunteer. There are many organizations for volunteer abroad (the one listed below is only an example). However, it is unlikely that you will earn academic credit unless an independent study is arranged with a UW Tacoma professor. An academic paper or readings will likely be added to the volunteer experience in order to grant credit.
