Honors
Nearly 1,000 students pursuing degrees through UNT’s Honors College are immersed in linked core courses that explore the richness of human knowledge in the tradition of America’s greatest liberal arts programs. Students, many of whom live in the Honors Hall learning community, participate in out-of-class seminars and field trips and conduct research guided by UNT faculty. The Eagle Feather, an annual journal, showcases student scholarship. Honors Scholars must complete a thesis or capstone seminar.
International
Each spring, students celebrate International Week with dance performances, a food fair, and a parade of flags and fashions. The annual event helps students experience world cultures on campus, and other programs introduce them to needs around the globe. For example, UNT is the nation’s first university to partner with the Chiapas Project in its fight to eradicate poverty by improving the lives of women and families in some of the world’s poorest countries.
Fostering global understanding and promoting cultural appreciation are central to preparing tomorrow’s successful global leaders. UNT’s strategic international partnerships seek to improve quality of life, facilitate the exchange of ideas and culture, and allow for important research addressing global issues. UNT’s campus also benefits from a rich diversity of international students.
136
UNT’s 2,500 international students represent 136 countries around the world.
Educated Americans who personally experience different cultures, languages and traditions are better equipped to succeed in a global economy. Numerous opportunities to study abroad invite UNT students to examine the world while immersed in carefully constructed, discipline-specific, challenging experiences. In 2007, faculty members supplemented the university’s offerings when they launched UNT’s first educational exchange program with a university in India, expanded a master’s program in sociology at Neve Yerushalayim in Israel to include male students and created an E-passport course to Hong Kong that allows students who can’t travel to experience the trip virtually.
