The meeting provided an overview of the Global Scholars program at American University. Anders explained that it is a three-year accelerated BA within the School of International Service where students complete four years of coursework in three years by taking classes every summer. He described the program as a living-learning community where the first-year cohort lives together on the sixth floor of Let's Hall and participates in cohort-based classes and extracurricular activities. Vincent, the current program associate, detailed the cohort's course sequence, including Introduction to International Studies, research-focused courses, and intercultural communication. He also described the optional study abroad programs in Brussels-Madrid and Nairobi-Kenya, including the academic structure, housing, and costs. Justina addressed questions about academic flexibility, noting that students can pursue electives, minors, or double majors, and that AP and IB credits can apply toward the 120-credit graduation requirement. The panel also discussed balancing internships with the accelerated schedule, financial aid for summer terms, and the distinction between the SIS Honors program and the AU Honors program.
