Travel programs offer students the opportunity to travel with a professor and a group of students for two to four weeks while earning academic credits. Travel courses are uniquely designed and led by Simmons faculty according to their academic and regional specialties. Recent courses include Political Science in Egypt, Management in India, and Journalism in South Africa. Some include a service learning component, for example working on a water filtration project or in a health clinic in Nicaragua.
Coursework and class sessions during the semester before departure prepare students for travel. Some of the travel courses are designed to fulfill a mode of inquiry requirement. A travel course enables students to be immersed in a culture other than their own and to broaden their perspectives and knowledge of a language or subject through an intensive learning experience.
