These special cocurricular study options are designed to enhance your traditional coursework through innovative and adventurous approaches to learning.

Term III has multiple ways in which you can take your education beyond the classroom. Whether you want to immerse yourself by traveling to specific locations, have a more relaxed approach to learning, or do field research, we look forward to seeing you take your knowledge to another level.
Have an immersive learning experience where you get to be right in the action. The locations and historical artifacts you visit are direct points of reference that will inform your studies.
You'll have a chance to explore topics outside of your major that can be "just for fun." Whether on campus or afar, you simply get to gain a new experience and learn for the love of it!
Term III trips offer you the chance to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world situations and learn how to collect data, analyze, and problem-solve, while fostering an understanding of diverse perspectives.
Over the spring break in March, you can gain an appreciation of the challenges in achieving accessible healthcare in settings outside of the United States with a trip to Panama.
