HUMANITIES
As a Humanities major, study abroad is an integral component to further the exploration of God, the natural world, society and the human person . Through the variety of courses and experiences, you will be able to explore the diversity of thought within an international context. Often, this takes place through research programs that pair culturally rich coursework with the opportunity to research your own area of interest.
Plan on taking at least one or two major-related courses while studying abroad, while some programs may allow a deeper dive into the major.
Though study abroad fits easily into the major, students should begin the study abroad advising process as early as possible. Tell your academic advisor that you are interested in study abroad at each registration appointment. Together, identify the best terms to go abroad, for summer or semester, based on the courses in your four-year-plan.
Specific things to consider:
- The Humanities major encourages flexibility and opportunity - work with your academic advisor to determine best approach to study abroad.
- Students can take up to four major courses or two minor courses to count towards their Humanities requirements.
Search the to select from more than 3,000 study abroad courses that have already been pre-approved for liberal education requirements and a growing list of technical courses.
The Course Approval History database is not all-inclusive and students can work with an OEA advisor to submit additional courses for review.
Don't forget - CLAS has a list of policies and limitations specifically focused on study abroad. Make sure you're aware of these as you plan your overseas experience.
For Humanities students, summer study abroad is possible after first year through end of junior year. Semester study abroad is possible beginning spring semester of sophomore year through fall semester of senior year. Senior year study abroad must be approved by the College. *Students doing a double major should consider the impact/timing for the second major.
The Department of Humanities encourages students to consider programs that provide critical thinking and practical experiences.
Study abroad opportunities are not limited to formal instruction. Consider taking advantage of the unique research, internship, and fieldwork opportunities available in different regions of the world.
