These tours are multifaceted immersions that typically last between one to three weeks. Learning will generally encompass local culture, tradition, history, art, economy, and language with the emphasis on each area varying depending on the destination.

Because the trips are offered only during school breaks, there is no interference with regularly scheduled classes. Most tours will offer the opportunity to earn up to 3 college credits in either Social Science or Humanities.
