American Humanics Program

The University of Houston-Downtown is affiliated with American Humanics, the only national organization dedicated to preparing and certifying future nonprofit professionals to work with America’s youth and families. This innovative program of skill and knowledge competencies, co-curricular activities, internships, and course work complements and builds on a student’s chosen academic major. Students completing this intense program of study and service are ensured that they have the best preparation for challenging careers in the youth and human service nonprofit sector. Application forms and detailed information about the program are available in the Provost’s Office, 629 South.

Study Abroad Programs

The University of Houston-Downtown is a charter member of the Texas Consortium of Study Abroad Programs. Academic year and semester programs of study are available in Mexico, England, Ireland, France, Italy, Russia, Spain, the Czech Republic, Austria, Argentina, Australia, Japan, and South Africa. In addition to more formal courses of study, faculty-led programs are occasionally offered in conjunction with various academic classes. Recent faculty-led programs have visited China, Mexico, and Israel.

All currently enrolled UH-Downtown students planning to take part in a UHD sponsored or approved study abroad program are eligible to apply for financial support from the International Education Student Fee Fund. Depending on the cost, program length, and student interest in a particular study abroad program, a limited number of grants up to $2000 may be available to help supplement the cost of a study abroad program.

Information on study abroad programs, scholarships and grants is available in the Provost’s Office, 629 South.
