Program Itinerary
Please give a day to day overview of the trip itinerary. Please include any additional sites you wish to
visit or other activities in which you will engage. Please note that we need this to ensure we are pricing
the trip appropriately. It does not have to be complete and unchanging from this point, but we do need
the initial information for the next steps.
Example: Day 2: Rome- visit to the Coliseum. Students will not need tickets because we have requested
to use the Rome Pass. We will need transportation to/ from the site.
Narrative
Please provide short answers to the following questions:
Briefly describe the proposed program including the academic focus, possible academic and cultural
excursions, and planned extra-curricular components that will increase students’ interaction with the
host culture (for example, cultural activities, community service, student-to-student conversational
exchange, etc).
Please describe your direct experience with the host city and/or country. If you have not traveled to or
lived in the proposed city and/or country, how do you plan to gain the familiarity necessary to facilitate
students’ exploration of the host culture and to take full advantage of the unique learning environment
the host culture affords?
