Study Away

The Honors College actively encourages students to enrich their educational experience by studying away from campus. These exciting opportunities include academic year and summer semester programs offered by the Honors College and academic departments.

Honors Beyond the Classroom Through Study Away

Students may fulfill the BTC requirement through the successful completion of an approved study away course. “Study away” includes both domestic and international (or “study abroad”) opportunities. A student must receive course credit for the study away activity in order to fulfill the Honors BTC requirement. 

Nine hours of approved non-Honors departmental BTC coursework can fulfill Honors College requirements – the BTC requirement and up to 2 Honors electives.

To fulfill the Honors BTC requirement, a study away course:

  • Must appear on the USC transcript and be credit-bearing. Although a student may enroll in a 1 credit hour approved study away course, the student must successfully complete a total of  3 credit hours of Honors BTC to fulfill the requirement.
  • Is typically taught entirely away from campus, not including pre-departure meetings. Courses featuring fall or spring break trips do not fulfill the Honors BTC requirement. If you have a question about a study away experience and Honors BTC, please contact honorsaway@sc.edu.
