Study Tours

All study tours enrich your coursework through various visits to schools, local authorities, child advocacy groups, educational institutions, and other organizations pertaining to the welfare of children and families. Each semester, we design a unique study tour that caters to the specific academic focus of the core theory class that is attending. Historical and cultural visits are also an integral part of both the long and short tours.

Study Tour locations include:

  • Western Denmark (Short tour)
  • London (Long tour, Multicultural Context)
  • Stockholm/Tallinn (Long tour, Special Needs)
