The Honors College Mongolia field studies program combines travel, course work, intensive language study, and the opportunity to conduct independent research and/or internships. Students not only spend extensive time in Mongolia but also visit Russia, China and other neighboring countries. By traveling through northern Asia, students are introduced to the reality of Mongolia’s landlocked position between China and Russia. In today’s lecture, three students with ambitions as varied as medicine, engineering and geology will share their experiences in this remarkable program and how their new viewpoints on Mongolia have changed their lives.
