Travel Studies
Travel studies allow you to immerse yourself in a different culture. Every moment spent abroad is an opportunity to learn.
TWU professors lead the courses, joined by guest speakers who provide a local perspective. For many students, participating in a travel study is one of the most memorable experiences of their entire major, if not a life-changing one!
Each program includes opportunities for you to visit historical and cultural places of interest and to dialogue with resident professionals and academics in your field. A TWU travel study is an unforgettable experience and one you won’t regret.
