International Scholars Program

Infographic of global skills and benefitsThe International Scholars Program (ISP) is an exciting graduation distinction available to all engineering undergraduate students. Earn a graduation medallion by approaching your education with a global lens through the completion of international coursework, international experience, language learning and co-curricular activities.

Keep in mind that if you complete a study abroad as your international experience, the courses you take during your study abroad count toward the coursework requirement. The International Scholars Program is a great bridge between international interests and preparing for a career where you will be part of a global workforce.
