Locations: Berlin, Germany; Kraków, Poland; Budapest, Hungary; Vienna, Austria; Dachau, Germany; Munich, Germany

Learn more on the program website.

This faculty-led program to Germany and Austria explores the psychology of conformity, obedience to authority, propaganda, moral courage, and collective trauma through immersive, place-based learning. Students will engage with historical sites, museums, and memorials to examine how social and psychological forces shaped individual choices and collective behavior during times of extreme moral and political pressure. By studying these dynamics where they unfolded, students gain deeper insight into human behavior and reflect on how these lessons continue to influence societies today.

Funding: Up to 10 Honors College students in good standing with Honors who are selected to this program and who are eligible to receive the Honors scholarship will receive a $1,500 scholarship that greatly reduces the cost. As awards are limited, students must inform the College of their intent to participate and receive scholarship approval from Honors prior to anticipating an award.

Taiwan: Sustainable + Climate Resilient Communities

Location: Taipei City, Taiwan

Learn more on the program website.

Sustainable and climate resilient practices can be difficult to be recognized and understood. Most Americans have weak understandings of key factors for creating sustainable communities. The infrastructure that supports our car-dependent, cheap-energy, and "throw-away" lifestyles remain a mysterious network of supply and demand provided at the gas pump, light switch, and marketplace. Taiwan, one of the most densely populated islands, provides an ideal site for studying the unique local approaches for sustainability and climate resilience as it not only committed to reach a net-zero carbon emission target by 2050, but also applied both traditional approaches and new technologies to achieve its net-zero goals.

Funding: Up to 10 Honors College students in good standing with Honors who are selected to this program and who are eligible to receive the Honors scholarship will receive a $1,500 scholarship. As awards are limited, students must inform the College of their intent to participate and receive scholarship approval from Honors prior to anticipating an award.
