These short-term, credit-bearing, faculty-led programs are offered winter break, spring break, and during the summer. If a course is not within your major, it might be used as an elective.
My favorite part of my GEL trip was visiting Avignon in the south of France. I loved the historic and calm atmosphere, as well as visiting a local food market outside of the area marketed towards tourists. The entire town was beautiful and felt like a home. I also loved visiting the papal palace there and taking part in their VR experience! I went on the trip because I have a passion for learning languages, and wanted to experience the cultures first-hand. I also used my French and my Spanish skills very frequently on the trip, 这很好,因为在这里,我在课外没有很多机会这样做.”
