Life in the world beyond the campus provides students with invaluable experiences that complement their programs of study. The experiential learning requirement applies to all Honors College students (including international students). Students may fulfill the requirement through participation in a study abroad program (minimum of 3 credits and 5 week stay) or through an internship experience (minimum of 3 credits and 120 hours of internship experience). All internship and study abroad programs must be approved by the Non-Classroom Learning Committee prior to registration.

Internship:
An internship is a means for Honors College students to earn college credit while working in a professional environment in an area that is of interest and relevant to his or her program of study/concentration. Student may seek financial resources for the internship experience, but traditionally interns volunteer time in return for experience and academic credit.
Further information on internships as well as forms and guidelines are available on our website.

Study Abroad:
Study abroad means that you will travel to a country outside the United States to study at a university and earn college credit for this academic endeavor. Advantages: you get to travel, meet new people, have intensive language and/or cultural study, earn college credit in courses you may not be exposed to at your home university, and it is an adventure. Disadvantages: it will cost a bit more than a regular semester at your home university (plane tickets, passport, shots, paperwork, living expenses, etc.). You should look for university study abroad programs affiliated with FAU or other Florida State institutions.
