Small Group Travel

Small Group Travel programs are credit bearing, short-term academic experiences where one or more students are traveling internationally under the supervision of two Augusta University faculty and/or staff members. These programs include: (can you make each of these into boxes or something more visually appealing rather than bullet points?)

  • Volunteer opportunities
  • Service-learning projects
  • Clinical or fieldwork
  • Internships
  • Special topics courses

While the Study Abroad Office provides support and oversight, faculty, staff, and students arrange and fund their own travel.
