Overview of class

Elliott Scholars entails a two-course sequence over winter and spring quarters, followed by participation in an international internship opportunity through the Global Engagement Studies Institute (GESI) in the summer quarter.

During GESI, students will engage in internships, joining the efforts of community organizations to advance community-driven change. This hands-on, collaborative experience will provide Elliott Scholars with the opportunity to apply what they have learned throughout the program in a community development setting abroad.

Students must commit to all program components across winter, spring and summer quarters to receive credit. Please note that GESI is non-repeatable, and so GESI alumni are not eligible for this program.

In 2025-26, Elliott Scholars will focus on international development, addressing a range of issues such as public health, education, overcoming poverty, women's empowerment, and the environment. In this interdisciplinary program, students will analyze, apply, and evaluate various approaches to development.
