Study abroad is an increasingly important part of the college experience.  Exploring new cultures can be life-changing, and many students point to their time abroad as the defining aspect of their education. CT State Housatonic offers the opportunity to travel internationally and earn college credit. Faculty-led international education programs offer a great alternative to the traditional study abroad experience.  Competitively priced, these tours give you the flexibility to take your coursework around the globe in just 1-2 weeks.

College Credit: All trips are components of either HUM 1019 or a Special Topics course. All student travelers are required to enroll in the associated course in order to take part in the trip. 3-6 credits may be earned as well as fulfillment of major or elective requirements such as Humanities or Global Knowledge.
