• It is not too early to think about summer travel. Why not earn credit too?

Summer 2012, two Government and History faculty (Dr. Linda Tomlinson, History and Dr. Rakesh Malhotra, Geography) led the FSU Honors Program Study Abroad trip to India. The trip that lasted 3 weeks covered various regions of India and provided a socio-cultural and educational experience for the students. In addition to visiting three universities, the students also traveled to the Himalayas, the Taj Mahal, and several other locations in Northern India (New Delhi, Shimla, Jalandhar, and Chandigarh). Inquire at the department office or office of summer school for more study abroad opportunities.
