The Davidson Honors College encourages students to study abroad. A study abroad can satisfy the honors experiential learning requirement. Students interested in studying abroad should begin by exploring the Global Engagement Office’s website. 

The DHC offers a limited number of course-based study abroad experiences which rotate annually. Past trips include:

• Climate Change Studies’ to Vietnam
• Communication Studies’ on food and family to Spain and Portugal
• Communication Studies’ strengths and virtues to Spain and Portugal
• UM Humanities and Sciences Honors Classics’ trip to Greece
• DHC Teaching Research and Mentoring Fellow-led trip to Ireland

SCHOLARSHIPS

A limited number of scholarships are available to students for their learning abroad. Most scholarships are awarded each spring. Students should apply at dhc.submittable.com and in the UM Scholarships Portal to be considered for available awards.

At the completion of their trip abroad, each student will submit a 2-3 page reflection to the DHC elaborating on your study abroad experience and its connection to your other honors courses/experiences and your future goals. The reflection is due before the end of the semester in which you complete your study abroad.

Your reflection should include a thoughtful examination of what you have learned about yourself, the country in which you were studying, how this contributes to your academic journey, and how you will apply what you've learned in the future.
