Expectations
Scholars are expected to maintain a good academic standing in their
major classes and remain active in the Global Scholars Program, meeting
the minimum attendance requirements. All college academic and other
policies and requirements apply to Scholars. All Scholars are
expected to participate in some unpaid projects as selected by the
Executive Director of the Global Scholars Program. These projects will
be valuable as networking tools and provide enrichment to students’
global perspective.
Requirements
- Internship with an international company or organization
- Internship in Washington D.C. or a foreign country
- Attendance at program leadership events
- Selected required reading list from the recommended Global Scholars Bibliography
- Regular listening to BBC radio or viewing BBC television
- Nomination/reference form with application for program admittance
Scholars are expected to complete an International Option project in at least three academic classes. Students will choose which classes they will complete these projects in, and projects need to reflect on their interest in expanding their global knowledge. These projects require approval by and guidance from faculty and the Global Scholar Leadership Team. Our goal is to help students add an international component to their discipline and encourage them to think about how their field of study relates to their career ambitions. Global Scholars will also be encouraged to join organizations related to their major and as well as international and professional organizations related to their intended career field.
“Georgetown College’s Global Scholars Program is an outstanding
collection of events and experiences which help students dig deeply into
the world and deal with the kaleidoscope of cultures and societies they
will encounter.”
