Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences

The Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences offers organized travel study programs that award course credits and may satisfy specific major requirements. Students may also choose to take advantage of organized travel study programs without receiving credit.

Sponsored programs include travel study to:

• England
• The Great Barrier Reef
• Peru
• Ecuador
• The Galapagos Islands

In addition to these programs, the college organizes an annual photographic expedition, led by one of our faculty members, to explore in-depth the natural history and culture of one country. In past years, expeditions have traveled to Chile, Costa Rica, Malaysia, and China.

Programs Sponsored by Other Institutions

Students are not limited to travel study programs sponsored by NSU. Students interested in a specific travel study program offered through another university or institution should contact the Office of the Dean to discuss the program and the steps necessary for applying. The Office of the Dean can also help locate shared/sponsored programs to more than 150 countries, some that last three weeks to as long as one year.

Individually Designed Programs

Students may also design their own travel study experience and may receive credit through independent study for self-designed programs. Students interested in designing their own program should contact the Office of the Dean to discuss a proposed trip's academic and travel details. When you are just getting started, it isn't necessary to know all the details. For example, students who want to visit a particular country, but don't know how to start planning, should not hesitate to seek advice.
