US-EU Atlantis Grant/Transatlantic Dual Degree Program
Highlights & Photos
Students who successfully complete the program and write an Honors thesis on research begun abroad and finished at the University of Arkansas, will be eligible for a Dual, Transatlantic BS Degree: one from the University of Arkansas, the second from the University of Regensburg or Dublin City University.
For seniors, the research project may begin in the US, and be continued in Europe in collaboration with scientists in Dublin or Regensburg
- Students will spend the fall semester at Dublin City University (Dublin, Ireland), from mid-September until late January
- then transfer to the University of Regensburg (Regensburg, Germany) for a 6-week intensive course in German, from early March through mid-April
- followed by the summer semester in Regensburg, which runs from mid-April through late July
In addition to providing a broader scope to undergraduate education at the University of Arkansas, a primary aim of the dual degree program is to provide adequate training to qualify the student for admission to any US or European University for study toward the PhD degree.
Students spending their junior year abroad should be able to graduate on time. Students who spend their senior year abroad should be able to graduate in August, but may need to spend an additional semester in residence at the University of Arkansas before graduating.
Leadership for the program comes from the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences.
