About Travel Study

Most of the travel-study courses at AACC are "travel-study abroad" courses. More than 250,000 American college students annually participate in some form of study abroad programs. The numbers have become so large that study abroad is now a major component of the college experience.

Benefits

Benefits of study abroad range widely as each students takes away something unique from his/her experiences. Study abroad will enhance what you learn on campus by giving you an international perspective. What better way:

• to learn Italian than to study it in Italy;
• to learn about the Protestant Reformation than experiencing Luther's Germany firsthand;
• to appreciate the artistic achievements of the Renaissance than see them up close;
• to understand the medieval folklore and culture of England than to travel to the very places where it happened;
• to learn Italian cuisine than to actually work along side an Italian chef in Italy!

With any study abroad program you will learn to handle new situations; you will become more flexible and adaptable. Many students return from their travels relaying that they had come back a different person.

One of the major competencies that all AACC students are encouraged to develop is a "global prospective." Employers today are asking for people who are globally competent. Study abroad will give the student this very experience.
