Our goal for students is that they leave Temple as well-rounded creators of knowledge with the confidence to advocate for themselves and others as engaged, global citizens. This type of learning happens inside and outside of the classroom, in Philadelphia and around the globe. We encourage all Honors students to take advantage of the incredible opportunities for education abroad, no matter their major or academic track.
Mérida, Mexico
We are thrilled to offer a study abroad program specifically for Honors students in Mérida, Mexico. The Honors Study Abroad program takes place from mid-May to mid-June, and presents a deep dive into the history and legacies of colonialism in the Yucatán Peninsula.
Students earn credit for History 2900: From Colonialism to Tourism: Five Centuries of Conflict, Conquest, and Resistance in the Yucatán, Mexico. The class is rooted in experiential learning, and excursions include a day trip to Chichén Itzá and the Yodkzonot cenote, visits to Valladolid and Izamal, an overnight trip to the Mayan community of Yaxunah, and more!
Oviedo, Spain and Prague, Czech Republic
Students can take Honors Intellectual Heritage II: The Common Good through summer faculty-led programs in Oviedo and Prague.
In Oviedo, students will travel for a day trip to Santillana del Mar and the caves of Altamira, participate in guided walking tours of Oviedo, and explore Gijon, Bilbao, and Valladolid. In Prague, students will attend guest lectures, Czech language instruction, neighborhood and architectural tours, an organ recital in St. Francis Church, and an overnight excursion to Vienna. Plus a lot more!
Rome and Japan Campuses
We are also proud to offer Honors course options at our campuses in Rome, Tokyo, and Kyoto. These specially-selected courses will be cross-listed with non-Honors sections, and offer our students the opportunity to work on their Honors requirements while also gaining a transformative study abroad experience.
To find Honors courses on the Rome and Japan campuses, simply select the Honors attribute and the appropriate campus from Banner’s advanced search options.
