Welcome to Academic Traveler!
Travel is more than push-pins on a map. It’s more than fabulous shopping and exquisite food. Travel is people and cultures. It’s economics and politics. It's global connections and incredible creatures. That's why we created The Academic Traveler, faculty-led adventures that promise fun but so much more. The good news? You'll learn a lot but there are no tests, no papers, and no grades. The Academic Traveler is a non-credit travel program. Oh, and don’t worry... there will still be fabulous shopping and exquisite food.
The Academic Traveler is a non-credit educational travel program offered through the Division of Outreach and The University of Mississippi. We are pleased to present a series of opportunities that meld unique travel experiences and education. UM instructors from a variety of disciplines lead the excursions. Programs may cover literature, art, history, photography and film, and culinary arts in locations such as London, New York, Japan, France, and Tanzania.
In order to provide the most individualized attention and to gain access to unique opportunities at our destination, program size is limited. Applicants are accepted in the order applications and deposits are received. Early registration is encouraged to ensure your space.
