Domestic Travel Study Program

Academic Programs' Travel Study program provides opportunities for students to study a variety of topics - from studying languages in native countries, to seeing first-hand the people and places talked about in courses.

Travel allows students to gain new perspectives about the world, to immerse themselves in a particular subject of interest and to experience subjects in a way that cannot be attained in a traditional classroom environment.
