Trying to figure out your best option?
Before beginning an application for a program, you may find it helpful to do the following:
Set up an appointment to meet with the Ivanhoe International Center staff
Make an appointment to meet with your Academic Advisor to discuss a program abroad
Email the program that interests you to find out more.
All these items will help you determine the program that best suits your needs and desires. Once you have determined the program to which you would like to apply, you will do an application for SDM.

Global Engineering & Science Certificate or Minor
Review courses and start now!
Many engineers and scientists encounter projects in unfamiliar cultures and work on multinational/multicultural teams throughout their careers.
The minor or certificate in Global Engineering and Science provides cross cultural insight and experience that will increase the ability of engineers and scientists to work successfully on projects and teams in other countries and cultures.
Students learn intercultural communication and teaming skills, and then complete a cross cultural design, research, or capstone project while working on multinational/multicultural teams, or by working on a project in a different country or culture, including Native American communities. This minor or certificate will more fully prepare graduates as global professionals and provide evidence to employers of the ability to understand client expectations and unspoken priorities and select appropriate and indigenous technology.
