Travel Studies
Would you like to have a firsthand experience outside the classroom lecture? Combine academic studies with International travel for unique experiential education. Gain an insight into Australia Sport and Culture. Enjoy the diverse cuisines in different countries. Learn a new language. Watch some of the top athletes in the world compete for a medal or break a world record.
The School of Human Kinetics offers at least one travel study every two years, during which students obtain as many as 6 credits applicable to their degree. Students have recently returned from Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008, Australia 2010 and are now heading to the London Olympic Games in 2012.

"Participating in the HKIN Travel Study to Australia was truly an unforgettable experience. The combination of traveling with fellow students, engaging with another culture, and studying in the 'field' as opposed to the classroom all create a terrific learning environment that just can't be replicated at home." |

"There is no other way I could have experienced culture, learning, and community in such a rich and practical environment. The travel study I participated in will be one of the strongest, most positive memories I take away from TWU." |

"It was the opportunity of a lifetime to visit the country of Australia: tour around, get to know my classmates & professor on a different level, in a different context. It was great to get 6 credits out of the way in just one month. . . . I have nothing but great memories- I would definitely do it again in a heartbeat!"
