The Dean's Global Honors Seminar
The Dean's Global Honors Seminars is an exciting component of the Steinhardt undergraduate honors program. These seminars combine a semester-long, credit-bearing course on Washington Square with a research-oriented, international travel component lasting 7-10 days. Fall semester seminars will include January travel, and spring semester seminars will include travel during Spring Break. These 4-credit courses are open to sophomores, juniors and seniors with qualifying GPAs in all Steinhardt majors.
Seminar
The Global Honors Seminars integrate a global perspective with the study of an interdisciplinary, liberal arts-based topic. These courses may fulfill one of a variety of requirements, including MAP requirements.
For a list of 2012-13 seminars, please visit the Dean's Global Honors Seminar page.
Eligibility
Global Honors Seminars are open to Steinhardt sophomores, juniors, and seniors with cumulative grade point averages of 3.5 or higher. Students may participate in only one Deans Global Honors Seminar or Deans Research Travel Colloquium during their degree.
Expenses for the Travel Component
This honors experience is heavily subsidized by NYU Steinhardt to provide students, regardless of financial circumstances, with the opportunity to connect local learning in New York to international study and research under the direction of our full-time faculty.
Students contribute a $400 program fee plus cover the costs of any required immunizations, passports and visas, their personal spending money during the trip and most meals during the trip. All other travel-related expenses (roundtrip airfare from New York City to the destination, housing accommodations, ground transportation, group activities in the destination country, and some meals--usually daily breakfast) are covered by the Steinhardt School.
Any student for whom these additional travel costs would prohibit participation should submit a written request for assistance to the NYU Steinhardt Office of the Associate Dean of Student Affairs. Our goal is to make the Dean's Global Honors Seminars available to excellent students regardless of financial curcumstances.
