Study-Travel Courses
International Study-Travel courses are of relatively short duration (one to three weeks) and are typically offered during summers or holiday and spring break periods. These experiences are led by one or more faculty members of the sponsoring college(s). The courses are taken for credit in most cases and focus on the specific content in the teaching area of the faculty member(s).
In some cases, the sponsoring college may offer the same course on a regular basis. In other cases, the college may offer the course as a one-time opportunity. The colleges reserve the right to cancel courses with insufficient enrollment.
Students from Minnesota State Colleges and Universities other than the sponsoring institution are free to participate in these opportunities.
