Target: Global Awareness
A core part of the Northeastern University Honors experience is a heightened awareness of the larger world. We want students to experience a connection with different ways of 'doing and seeing' while undergraduates. We encourage students to make this connection through a number of ways including:
* Global Focused Classes
* Class linked Global Exploration
* Study Abroad
* International Cooperative Education
* National Collegiate Honors Council Experiences
Students may take Honors courses that address global issues, and many do this as a first stage in their journey. Each year, some Honors Separate Sections and Honors Seminars offer a window into other cultures from their every-day life and language, to their political life and economic concerns.
Students may also take advantage of a number of ways to connect to the larger world through classes that include an experiential component that takes them out of the country for a short duration of several weeks. For example, students joined a Summer I experience taught in Boston and Egypt this past summer. In Summer I 2006, students may join classes going back to Egypt or to Mexico.
Students may also take advantage of more traditional study abroad opportunities through the Office of International Study Programs and spend a semester or more in another country.
Unique to our campus is the chance to be abroad through an International Co-op opportunity. These work abroad experiences are unique to the Northeastern Cooperative Education Program.
Finally, a number of programs both in the United States and abroad are offered through the National Collegiate Honors Council.
