Be part of an unforgettable living and learning experience by participating in a Simmons College Travel Program. For the tenth year in a row we are offering programs at a variety of sites around the world, with courses set in Asia, Latin America and Europe.
Travel Programs are semester-long courses that begin with scheduled meetings throughout the term and culminate in two to four weeks of intensive study abroad under the direction of a Simmons faculty member. Pre-departure meetings serve as an orientation and allow students to begin their course work. Attendance at preliminary meetings and the orientation is mandatory.
