Glasgow Honors Program

The Nisbet Honors Program is a member of the Principia Consortium, a group of only 23 honors programs in the nation that are permitted to send honors students to the special honors study abroad program at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. Other members of the consortium include Gonzaga University, Rutgers University, and Creighton University. After receiving approval from Converse’s program directors, Converse honors students may enroll online for fall semester at Glasgow. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors interested in studying abroad at Glasgow should contact Dr. Laura Brown by email or call her at 864.596.9690 for more information.
