Study-away programs are NOT simply sightseeing excursions around the world. Academic rigor and integrity remain at the core of each Explorations trip. Some programs, such as the study tours, are designed and led by B-W faculty members. Like that of a semester-long, class field trip, these experiences allow students and faculty to travel and learn as a cohesive group. Individual trips, on the other hand, enable students to continue their academic studies at foreign or domestic institutions. Whichever program you choose, it will surely enrich your academic experience by..
- Fulfilling academic requirements
- Strengthening critical thinking and reasoning skills
- Increasing your awareness and sensitivity of global issues
- Providing an international perspective to your academic major
- Becoming proficient in another language
- Fostering time management and organization skills
