Faculty-Run Trips Connected to Courses 1996-2006

Other International Studies programs include those that are designed by PLNU professors and attached to specific courses, as travel learning modules. Students are not necessarily required to attend the trip in order to do the course and can instead opt to do a paper or some other piece of work. These guided trips are often, however, particularly focused academic experiences since they attach very directly to course material and are usually done with a group of people who have become a learning community over the semester. Listed below are the trips that attached to particular courses or departments.

What is particularly significant is that one third of these trips (5 of 16) are to countries other than Western European nations. PLNU is particularly interested in helping our students discover cultures other than ones that might seem familiar.
