Travel Courses
A travel course is an Asbury faculty-led, credit-bearing, experiential learning opportunity in an off-campus setting. Travel courses most often occur over spring break or within the first 2-4 weeks of summer break and include pertinent course work before and after the travel experience. Many of these classes can be approved to fulfill your CCE experience and could cover foundations and/or major classes. 5-10 Travel Course options are offered each academic year. The list of confirmed travel courses in an academic year is released by the Global Initiatives and Programs office in September of that year.
